Hearts and Hands - To Develop Words Databases
Dil Me Ram - Hath Me Kaam
The noble project - Build an ALL-WORDS database for ALL languages (esp. for Tamil OR at least for Tamil)
-
The idea is to build an all-encompassing database for each of the world languages (esp. Tamil) so that the database contains "ALL the WORDS" in that particular language. At its minimal level, even if the database contains just words (ALL of them) for each language, that itself is a MONUMENTAL help to the society. At its maximal level, for each word, the database can contain comprehensive meanings, related words (for e.g. பாரதியார் is a related word to மஹாகவி), synonyms, antonyms, categories (spiritual, sports, etc.), Tanglish (Hinglish, etc.), etc. etc. etc. I mean, sky is the limit for the kind of information each word can have.
Actually, it is sad that such all-words databases are not "FREELY" existing for any language, as far as I know. Not today (2025) but years back itself (say, 2000 itself) such databases should have been available for "FREE DOWNLOAD" for the common public, absolutely free of cost. But, sadly, that is not the situation.
The established entities, esp. those dealing with language translation, surely must be having a huge collection of words from all world languages. Yet, as far as I have searched, sadly, not even one comprehensive 'words list' is available for download for Tamil. What about other languages. I don't know. I have not searched so far. But, I doubt whether a comprehensive 'list of words' exists for other languages too.
User-wellwisher and Dear brother Shri. Imthiyas Mohamed, while talking to me over whatsapp, some time in the last 2-3 years, shared with me the info that he was part of a volunteer team (in 2007 or so) which garnered Tamil words for Google. So, a loving team has helped Google! At least all those Tamil words provided by those kind volunteers can be made public by Google, for free download, I humbly feel (very very much). There is a Tamil word called ஆதங்கம் (aadhangam). As I wrote all of the aforesaid, that 'aadhangam' was the one brimming within me.
A few minutes after I wrote all of the above, a thought arose in me - if a team of volunteers can contribute to Google (a business entity) itself, can't they do the same for 'I am that Word' app also, which just does not expect anything at all from anybody? It also makes me wonder whether there is not even one kind-hearted person in this world who is close to Shri. Sundar Pitchai or Shri. Sathya Nadal so that they can pave way for the take-over of all of Azhagi's Free Apps (not just 'I-am-that-word' app alone). Is it not possible for an established entity to have even one team fully dedicated for social causes alone? Not possible? Just ONE team. I shall still offer beautiful ideas and suggestions (for the common good) to that team, if at all they have no problems with that. I shall ever strive to remain completely under the radar, never telling anybody that I am suggesting ideas to that team.
Background behind this noble project
-
This noble project is based on 'I am the Word' (aka 'Love') application of Azhagi's where a first-of-its-kind 'Words Builder' facility exists - to build - i.e. collect (that too, automatically) - "ALL" past/existing/future Tamil (and potentially any world language's words) from various sources. The 'I am the Word' app possesses many other extremely beneficial features/tools too, which have been hitherto never-before-seen in Language computing - a comprehensive Words Searcher, Words Suggester, Words Letterer (Analyser of words to the root level), Words Speedster (Typing Speedometer). All the aforesaid tools/features are designed to work at MAGICAL speeds#. See it to Believe it!
(#) which can be possibly upped further too, in future.
Bigger-Faster

Bigger the Involvement, Bigger the Results.

Its "all in your hands" - to build these databases - fastly, efficiently, optimisedly.
எல்லாம் உங்கள் கையிலேயே இருக்கு.
ஊர் கூடி இழுத்தால் வேகமாய் இழுக்கலாம்.
Well, if your time/interest/health/situation permits and thus you wish to join hands in developing the all-encompassing databases for 'each of the languages, fields of study, epics, epos, meanings, etc.', slowly and steadily, in whatever little way, kindly write to me at BIRTHLESS.DEATHLESS@GMAIL.COM on how to go about this so that these databases can be built fastly, efficiently, optimisedly - with as many features as one can think of - for the ultimate benefit of the world society.
Ideally
-
Ideally, only if this happens (taking up ownership of all of Azhagi's Free Apps by an established entity), it will be ideal. But then, when I have 'little hopes'# of even one individual coming forward to give his/her hearts and hands to build an ALL-Words database even for one language (esp. Tamil), what hopes can I have for established entities to help the society by taking ownership of all of Azhagi's Free Apps. Nevertheless, I still write about these things time and again in many of my web pages because 'Hope is Life' (நம்பிக்கையே வாழ்க்கை). If not today, one other day in future (it does not matter whether I am alive or not at that moment) such grand and unbelievable things may happen. We never know. God is Great.
