Transliteration Based Bengali Text Compression Using Huffman Principle

In this paper, we propose a new technique to compress more symbolic language like Bengali through less symbolic language like English using Huffman principle. First we transliterate the text of more symbolic language to less symbolic language, and then we apply Huffman principle on the transliterated text. We have also shown that our transliteration based proposed method outperform the existing basic Huffman technique for every piece of Bengali text and significant compression ratio can be achieved.
