Abstract:
The authors used yet another suffix stripper (YASS) to find out the base words or stems for one of the languages
of north-east India called Mising Language. There are over 5,00,000 speakers in Mising Language. The Roman scripts are
used for Mising Language. Mising Agom KÃƒÂ©bang is the highest body of the Mising people and is dedicated for the development
of Mising literature. The particular suffix remover may be used without in depth knowledge about the language. The authors
successfully used the YASS with a F-score of around 87% for finding the stem. In the field of information retrieval, the automatic
removals of suffixes are very important. As the mising language does not have a known corpus, the authors created the corpus.
