    <Paragraph position="0"> Kimmo Koskenniemi's two-level model (Koskenniemi, 1983, Koskenniemi, 1984) uses finite-state transducers to implement phonological rules. This paper presents the experience of attempting a two-level phonology for certain Indian languages; the problems faced in this attempt and their resolution. The languages we consider are Tamil and Hindi. For the languages considered we want to show that practical descriptions of their morphology can be achieved by a simple generalization of the two-level model. Although the basic two-level model has been generalized in this paper, the extensions do not affect the complexity or the basic tenets of the two-level model.</Paragraph>
