Abstract

Lexonomy is a platform which is an open source for writing and publishing dictionaries. Pali Lexicography is actually a dictionary created by using Lexonomy, which is a web based tool for creating dictionaries. Since a dictionary is a means of understanding any language and its translation, the present work is about Pali Lexicography. It is a project that has been created using simple XML tags and technical skills without any cost. In this, word mapping is done using selected words that are chosen from the set of Pali Language which are also present in the Marathi Language set having almost similar meaning in Marathi Language. All the Pali words have their English meaning which are automatically sorted generating the Lexicographic order. Pali dictionary is created with a simple user interface and is easily operable.
