Abstract

Nepali lexicon is rich in words borrowed from Sanskrit language, called "Tatsama" words. These words have a specific set of rules to split them into affixes and morphemes. This paper details these rules and describes an implementation that can be used to improve existing Nepali Morphological Analyzers which do not yet implement concrete rules for these kinds of words.
