Abstract. A prototype morphological analyzer for the south Indian language of Kannada is presented in this work. The analyzer is based on Finite state machines and can handle 500 distinct Noun and Verb stems of Kannada. The morphological analyzer can simultaneously serve as a stemmer, part of speech tagger and spell checker and hence it becomes a very efficient tool for content management.
