Resource matrix

The special interest group for Uralic languages hosts an up-to-date list of resource for Uralic languages. This matrix tries to capture state of the Uralic languages computational resources using linkable, downloadable and usable resources as references (rather than, expert judgment, as some other similar matrices do). For a full list of resources available, users are advised to turn to services, such as meta-share.

The columns are following: ISO 639 is closest applicable standard language code, Language is the name of the language, in case of related / similarly named languages with separate language codes, (group) is used to add the differentiating part of language name, Orth column describes the status of standard orthography, Keyboard is freely available keyboard layouts for commonly used operation systems, Corpora is freely available language data, both spoken and written, annotated or not, carefully selected or not, Speech is speech technology resources such as synthesised speakers, Morph is for various text analysers; morpho-syntactic or otherwise, Treebank is for different treebanks and parsebanks with over word-level annotations and MT is for machine translators. The resources listed are ones that we have verified free to use, at least for research purposes but usually free for all, free as in no costs and free as in no restrictions for purposes of use, can be copyleft. Also, systems must be usable, ideally used by us or researchers we know.

I have used a plus sign + for most resources, an occasional hyphen-minus - is used to denote rather work-in-progress versions of data or software.
