This paper presents a study of Sinhala syllable
structure and an algorithm for identifying syllables in
Sinhala words. After a thorough study of the Syllable
structure and linguistic rules for syllabification of
Sinhala words and a survey of the relevant literature,
a set of rules was identified and implemented as a
simple, easy-to-implement algorithm. The algorithm
was tested using 30,000 distinct words obtained from
a corpus and compared with the same words manually
syllabified. The algorithm performs with 99.95 %
accuracy. |
