DIGITAL ANNOTATED CORPORA OF BRAZILIAN INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSLATIONS

Abstract

The native languages of Brazil, already severely endangered before the pandemic, face increased menace from the death of native elders of COVID-19. Our project aims to advance inclusive digital innovation by developing a computational platform for indigenous language materials that are culturally and grammatically significant. These language materials will provide a digital foundation for enhanced bilingual education, intergenerational connections, and the transmission of ancestral knowledge in indigenous communities.
