Hindi Wordnet

The Hindi WordNet is a system for bringing together different lexical (Word based) and semantic (Meaning or Sense based) relations between the Hindi words. It organizes the lexical information in terms of word meanings and can be termed as a lexicon based on psycholinguistic principles. The design of the Hindi WordNet is inspired by the famous English WordNet.

You can browse the Hindi Wordnet through this interface. It will require Internet to work.
