MECHANISM FOR IDENTIFYING INVALID SYLLABLES IN DEVANAGARI SCRIPT

A mechanism for identifying invalid syllables in Devanagari script is disclosed. A method of embodiments of the invention includes receiving Devanagari text from an application of a computing device for parsing, determining a character type for a character of the Devanagari text, determining a new state associated with the character by referencing a Devanagari state machine with the determined character type and a current state of the Devanagari text, and transmitting an invalid syllable signal to the application for display on a display device to an end user of the application if the determined new state is invalid.
