People largely expect links to be whole words, not parts of words.
In that case the automatic correction done by wiki is strange: why only one or two syllables? and not to the end of the word?
Is it because, in fact, the "n", in ganita part, is not a latin "n", but a letter with a diacritical mark (underdot)?
Yes. It gets all that has been defined as a letter in the settings. You can change that in [[MediaWiki:Linktrail]] (if you are a sysop). The standard setting is:
/^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD
If there are other characters than a to z that can occur in words in your language, you can add them before or after the 'a-z'. For example, Dutch uses the setting:
/^([äöüïëéèéàça-z]+)(.*)$/sD
