Sandun Sameera Perera, Deshan Koshala Sumanathilaka


Abstract
This systematic review paper provides an overview of recent machine translation and transliteration developments for Indo-Aryan languages spoken by a large population across South Asia. The paper examines advancements in translation and transliteration systems for a few language pairs which appear in recently published papers. The review summarizes the current state of these technologies, providing a worthful resource for anyone who is doing research in these fields to understand and find existing systems and techniques for translation and transliteration.
