title: How to do POS tagging on Telugu text?
body: <p>I am doing English POS tagging for so long. It's staright forward like</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; text = word_tokenize("And now for something completely different")
  &gt;&gt;&gt; nltk.pos_tag(text)
  [('And', 'CC'), ('now', 'RB'), ('for', 'IN'), ('something', 'NN'),
  ('completely', 'RB'), ('different', 'JJ')]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I want to do it in Telugu. </p>
  
  <p>I followed this article - <a href="http://jaganadhg.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2009/10/12/nltk-and-indian-language-corpus-processing-part-ii.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jaganadhg.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2009/10/12/nltk-and-indian-language-corpus-processing-part-ii.html</a></p>
  
  <p>And could test few inbuilt sentences.

  <p>But I could not figure out the way to test any random Telugu text. Could some one please guide if he has experience in using NLTK for non english text.</p>
  
  <p>I have total number words</p>
  
  <pre><code>telugu.pos
      9999
  </code></pre>

  <pre><code>1197
  telugu.pos
  </code></pre>
