Abstract:
Transliteration is the process of mapping from
one system of writing into another, word by word.
This system presents an algorithm for English-
Myanmar cross-language transliterated word
retrieval. Soundex matching is used to identify
strings that may be of similar pronunciation,
regardless of their actual spelling. This is done by
retrieving texts based on phonetic codes of keywords.
This paper presents a system that retrieves
transliterated Myanmar words for entered English
words by using the Soundex Algorithm.In this system,
Soundex codes for vowels in phonetic sound are also
included. The Myanmar consonants categorize into
similar phonetic groups according to Soundex code.
