Online Beginning Sanskrit Exercises 


STG lead(s): Carole Mah

STG has implemented the linguistic tools developed by Peter Scharf and Malcolm Hyman through a web interface, in the form of exercises for beginning students. 

Prof. Scharf has been developing digital materials for teaching Sanskrit, in the context of the Sanskrit Library. Initially, he developed second year reading texts that provide progressively more information to aid in identifying words, parsing the grammar and finally, translating. He is now working on introductory materials that teach students how to write in Deva Nagari, and how to manage sandhi transformations. He is working on this project with Malcolm Hyman, who is providing additional expertise in computational linguistics.
