+# hindi-readability 📖🇮🇳
+
+**The first Python package for measuring the readability of Hindi text.**
+
+Zero external dependencies. Pure Python 3.9+.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+English has Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, and ARI — readability formulas used in MS Word since 1992. **Hindi has nothing.**
+
+India has 24.8 crore school students, 886 million internet users consuming Hindi content, and 14.7 lakh schools — all producing and consuming Hindi text with no way to automatically measure whether it is easy or hard to read.
+
+This package fills that gap with three **original formulas** designed specifically for Devanagari script.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install hindi-readability
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from hindi_readability import ReadabilityScorer
+
+rs = ReadabilityScorer()
+
+# Simple sentence
+result = rs.score("यह एक सरल वाक्य है।")
+print(result["hrs"])          # Hindi Readability Score (0-100)
+print(result["label"])        # "Easy"
+print(result["grade_label"])  # "Class 3–5"
+print(result["cbse_level"])   # "Prathmik Uttara"
+
+# Constitutional text — hard
+result = rs.score("संविधान की प्रस्तावना में भारत को एक संप्रभु, समाजवादी, धर्मनिरपेक्ष, लोकतांत्रिक गणराज्य घोषित किया गया है।")
+print(result["hrs"])        # 0.0
+print(result["label"])      # "Expert"
+print(result["grade_label"])# "College+"
+
+# Compare multiple texts — sorted easiest first
+texts = [
+    "बच्चे खेलते हैं।",
+    "भारत की शिक्षा नीति बदल रही है।",
+    "संवैधानिक प्रावधानों के अनुसार नागरिकों के मूल अधिकार सुरक्षित हैं।",
+]
+ranked = rs.compare(texts)
+for r in ranked:
+    print(f"{r['hrs']:5.1f}  {r['label']:12}  {r['text'][:40]}")
+
+# Get simplification suggestions
+suggestions = rs.simplify_suggestions("संवैधानिक प्रावधानों के अनुसार...")
+for s in suggestions:
+    print(s)
+
+# Check if appropriate for a school grade
+rs.is_appropriate_for_grade("यह सरल पाठ है।", grade=5)  # True/False
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Three Formulas
+
+### 1. Hindi Readability Score (HRS)
+An ease score from **0 to 100** — higher means easier. Inspired by Flesch Reading Ease but redesigned for Devanagari.
+
+| Score | Label | Suitable for |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 90–100 | Very easy | Class 1–2 |
+| 70–89 | Easy | Class 3–5 |
+| 50–69 | Standard | Class 6–8 |
+| 30–49 | Difficult | Class 9–10 |
+| 10–29 | Very hard | Class 11–12 |
+| 0–9 | Expert | College+ |
+
+**Formula:**
+```
+HRS = 206.0
+      - (60.0 × avg_syllables_per_word)
+      - (1.8  × avg_words_per_sentence)
+      - (70.0 × conjunct_density)
+      - (8.0  × matra_complexity)
+```
+
+### 2. Hindi Grade Level (HGL)
+Maps HRS to Indian school grades (CBSE Class 1 to College+).
+
+### 3. Hindi Complexity Index (HCI)
+A normalized 0–1 score. Lower = easier. Useful for ML pipelines.
+
+---
+
+## Why These Formulas Are Different
+
+| Feature | English (Flesch-Kincaid) | Hindi (this package) |
+|---------|--------------------------|---------------------|
+| Syllable counting | English phoneme rules | Devanagari matra-based |
+| Conjunct detection | Not applicable | ✓ Virama-based detection |
+| Script-aware | No | ✓ Full Unicode U+0900–U+097F |
+| Long vowel complexity | No | ✓ Guru/laghu distinction |
+| CBSE grade mapping | No | ✓ Class 1–12 + College |
+
+**Conjunct consonants** (संयुक्त अक्षर) — formed when a virama (्) joins two consonants — are the primary marker of Sanskrit-origin vocabulary. They appear in tatsam words (तत्सम) which are significantly harder for younger readers. This package detects them automatically using Unicode analysis.
+
+---
+
+## What Is Solved vs. What This Package Solves
+
+### Already solved (for English)
+- Flesch Reading Ease (1948)
+- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (1975)
+- Gunning Fog Index (1952)
+
+### What this package solves (first ever for Hindi)
+- Matra-aware syllable counting
+- Conjunct consonant density as a difficulty signal
+- CBSE-aligned grade level output
+- Actionable simplification suggestions in Hindi
+
+### Still open (future research / dissertation topics)
+- Validation against human-graded Hindi texts (labeled corpus needed)
+- Domain-specific calibration (news vs. textbooks vs. legal)
+- Extension to Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati (same Devanagari script family)
+- Hinglish (code-mixed Hindi-English) readability

+formulas.py — Hindi Readability Formulas
+=========================================
+This module implements THREE original readability formulas for Hindi text,
+all designed from scratch for Devanagari script characteristics.
+
+WHY NOT JUST TRANSLATE FLESCH-KINCAID?
+---------------------------------------
+Flesch-Kincaid counts English syllables and words per sentence.
+Hindi is fundamentally different:
+  1. Syllable weight — Hindi has HEAVY (guru) and LIGHT (laghu) syllables
+     based on matras. A long-matra word is harder than a short one of the
+     same syllable count.
+  2. Conjuncts (sankyukt akshar) — These are the single biggest marker of
+     reading difficulty in Hindi. They appear in Sanskrit-origin (tatsama)
+     words which educated adults use but children struggle with.
+  3. Sentence structure — Hindi is SOV (Subject-Object-Verb). Long sentences
+     with postpositions and embedded clauses are harder than simple SOV.
+
+THE THREE FORMULAS
+-------------------
+1. Hindi Readability Score (HRS)   — ease score 0–100 (higher = easier)
+2. Hindi Grade Level (HGL)         — school grade 1–12+
+3. Hindi Complexity Index (HCI)    — raw difficulty 0–1 (lower = easier)
+
+Each formula is independently usable. HRS is the headline metric.
+
+FORMULA DERIVATION
+-------------------
+HRS is adapted from Flesch Reading Ease with Hindi-specific weights:
+
+  HRS = 121.2
+        - (58.0  × avg_syllables_per_word)
+        - (1.02  × avg_words_per_sentence)
+        - (22.0  × conjunct_density_normalized)
+        - (6.0   × matra_complexity)
+
+Weights chosen by linguistic reasoning:
+  • avg_syllables_per_word  : primary difficulty driver (same as English)
+  • avg_words_per_sentence  : secondary (same as English, lower weight)
+  • conjunct_density        : NEW — unique to Hindi/Devanagari
+  • matra_complexity        : NEW — ratio of heavy matras (long vowels)
+                               to total matras; long matras = harder words
+
+HGL maps HRS to Indian school grades (Class 1–12) using the same
+inverse relationship as Kincaid but re-calibrated for Hindi:
+
+  HGL = 17.2 - (HRS × 0.14)
+
+HCI is a 0–1 normalized composite:
+  HCI = weighted average of 4 sub-scores (syllable, sentence, conjunct, matra)
+
+GRADE LABELS
+------------
+These are mapped to CBSE/NCERT grade groupings:
+  Class 1–2   : Prathmik (Primary) — very simple
+  Class 3–5   : Prathmik Uttara — simple
+  Class 6–8   : Madhyamik — standard
+  Class 9–10  : Uccha Madhyamik — difficult
+  Class 11–12 : Uccha Vidyalay — very difficult
+  College+    : Snatak — expert
+"""

+script.py — Devanagari Script Analyser
+=======================================
+Counts the building blocks of Hindi text that determine reading difficulty:
+
+  - Matras       : vowel diacritics attached to consonants  (ि ी ु ू े ै ो ौ etc.)
+  - Virama       : halant ् — joins two consonants into a conjunct
+  - Conjuncts    : two or more consonants merged (e.g. क्ष  त्र  ज्ञ)
+  - Syllables    : every independent vowel OR consonant+vowel unit
+  - Anusvara/
+    Visarga      : nasal/aspiration marks — add phonetic weight
+
+Research basis
+--------------
+In Devanagari every consonant carries an implicit /a/ vowel (schwa).
+A matra overrides that default vowel.  A virama (U+094D) suppresses
+the vowel completely and glues the consonant to the next one — forming
+a conjunct.  Conjuncts are the primary marker of textual complexity
+in Hindi: they appear mainly in Sanskrit-origin (tatsama) words which
+are harder to read than native Prakrit-derived (tadbhava) words.
+
+Unicode ranges used

+# hindi-readability 📖🇮🇳
+
+**The first Python package for measuring the readability of Hindi text.**
+
+Zero external dependencies. Pure Python 3.9+.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+English has Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, and ARI — readability formulas used in MS Word since 1992. **Hindi has nothing.**
+
+India has 24.8 crore school students, 886 million internet users consuming Hindi content, and 14.7 lakh schools — all producing and consuming Hindi text with no way to automatically measure whether it is easy or hard to read.
+
+This package fills that gap with three **original formulas** designed specifically for Devanagari script.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install hindi-readability
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from hindi_readability import ReadabilityScorer
+
+rs = ReadabilityScorer()
+
+# Simple sentence
+result = rs.score("यह एक सरल वाक्य है।")
+print(result["hrs"])          # Hindi Readability Score (0-100)
+print(result["label"])        # "Easy"
+print(result["grade_label"])  # "Class 3–5"
+print(result["cbse_level"])   # "Prathmik Uttara"
+
+# Constitutional text — hard
+result = rs.score("संविधान की प्रस्तावना में भारत को एक संप्रभु, समाजवादी, धर्मनिरपेक्ष, लोकतांत्रिक गणराज्य घोषित किया गया है।")
+print(result["hrs"])        # 0.0
+print(result["label"])      # "Expert"
+print(result["grade_label"])# "College+"
+
+# Compare multiple texts — sorted easiest first
+texts = [
+    "बच्चे खेलते हैं।",
+    "भारत की शिक्षा नीति बदल रही है।",
+    "संवैधानिक प्रावधानों के अनुसार नागरिकों के मूल अधिकार सुरक्षित हैं।",
+]
+ranked = rs.compare(texts)
+for r in ranked:
+    print(f"{r['hrs']:5.1f}  {r['label']:12}  {r['text'][:40]}")
+
+# Get simplification suggestions
+suggestions = rs.simplify_suggestions("संवैधानिक प्रावधानों के अनुसार...")
+for s in suggestions:
+    print(s)
+
+# Check if appropriate for a school grade
+rs.is_appropriate_for_grade("यह सरल पाठ है।", grade=5)  # True/False
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Three Formulas
+
+### 1. Hindi Readability Score (HRS)
+An ease score from **0 to 100** — higher means easier. Inspired by Flesch Reading Ease but redesigned for Devanagari.
+
+| Score | Label | Suitable for |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 90–100 | Very easy | Class 1–2 |
+| 70–89 | Easy | Class 3–5 |
+| 50–69 | Standard | Class 6–8 |
+| 30–49 | Difficult | Class 9–10 |
+| 10–29 | Very hard | Class 11–12 |
+| 0–9 | Expert | College+ |
+
+**Formula:**
+```
+HRS = 206.0
+      - (60.0 × avg_syllables_per_word)
+      - (1.8  × avg_words_per_sentence)
+      - (70.0 × conjunct_density)
+      - (8.0  × matra_complexity)
+```
+
+### 2. Hindi Grade Level (HGL)
+Maps HRS to Indian school grades (CBSE Class 1 to College+).
+
+### 3. Hindi Complexity Index (HCI)
+A normalized 0–1 score. Lower = easier. Useful for ML pipelines.
+
+---
+
+## Why These Formulas Are Different
+
+| Feature | English (Flesch-Kincaid) | Hindi (this package) |
+|---------|--------------------------|---------------------|
+| Syllable counting | English phoneme rules | Devanagari matra-based |
+| Conjunct detection | Not applicable | ✓ Virama-based detection |
+| Script-aware | No | ✓ Full Unicode U+0900–U+097F |
+| Long vowel complexity | No | ✓ Guru/laghu distinction |

+
+**Conjunct consonants** (संयुक्त अक्षर) — formed when a virama (्) joins two consonants — are the primary marker of Sanskrit-origin vocabulary. They appear in tatsam words (तत्सम) which are significantly harder for younger readers. This package detects them automatically using Unicode analysis.

+
+## What Is Solved vs. What This Package Solves
+
+### Already solved (for English)
+- Flesch Reading Ease (1948)
+- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (1975)
+- Gunning Fog Index (1952)
+
+### What this package solves (first ever for Hindi)
+- Matra-aware syllable counting
+- Conjunct consonant density as a difficulty signal
+- CBSE-aligned grade level output
+- Actionable simplification suggestions in Hindi
+
+### Still open (future research / dissertation topics)
+- Validation against human-graded Hindi texts (labeled corpus needed)
+- Domain-specific calibration (news vs. textbooks vs. legal)
+- Extension to Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati (same Devanagari script family)
+- Hinglish (code-mixed Hindi-English) readability
