# Intro

MLphone is a phonetic algorithm for indexing Malayalam words by their pronunciation,

like Metaphone for English. The algorithm generates three Romanized phonetic keys (hashes) of varying

phonetic affinities for a given Malayalam word.

The	algorithm takes into account the context sensitivity of sounds, syntactic and

phonetic gemination, compounding, modifiers, and other known exceptions to produce

Romanized phonetic hashes of increasing phonetic affinity that are very faithful

to the pronunciation of the original Malayalam word.

* key0 = a broad phonetic hash comparable to a Metaphone key that doesn't account for hard sounds (ഷ, ണ..) or phonetic modifiers

* key1 = is a slightly more inclusive hash that accounts for hard sounds

* key2 = highly inclusive and narrow hash that accounts for hard sounds and phonetic modifiers

MLphone was created to aid spelling tolerant Malayalam word search, but may 

be useful in tasks like spell checking, word suggestion etc.
