We present mahaNLP, an open-source natural language processing (NLP) library specifically built for the Marathi language. It aims to enhance the support for the low-resource Indian language Marathi in the field of NLP. It is an easy-to-use, extensible, and modular toolkit for Marathi text analysis built on state-of-the-art MahaBERT-based transformer models. Our work holds significant importance as other existing Indic NLP libraries provide basic Marathi processing support and rely on older models with restricted performance. Our toolkit stands out by offering a comprehensive array of NLP tasks, encompassing both fundamental preprocessing tasks and advanced NLP tasks like sentiment analysis, NER, hate speech detection, and sentence completion. This paper focuses on an overview of the mahaNLP framework, its features, and its usage. This work is a part of the L3Cube MahaNLP initiative, more information about it can be found at https://github.com/l3cube-pune/MarathiNLP .
