Kathabhidhana is an open toolkit for anyone to record their language in a human and
machine readable form. It is a collection of open source tools,
educational material, and open sample datasets. It not helps one to
record their language but helps creating resources that can be used for
building Machine Learning and Natural language Processing tools. Subhashish Panigrahi has
personally recorded over 2000 words in his native language Odia. More
