Description
The Archaeological linguistics and the Prehistory of Northeast India project digitizes a corpus of language materials collected in Nagaland. This includes annotated texts that are time-aligned to transcriptions, plus electronic dictionaries from a number of minority language communities. The kind of textual data that the project will make publicly available can be sampled through the Pangloss platform. Materials will also be archived in DR-NTU (Data). This project focusses on terminology related to technologies, agricultural practices and crops, but will also provide some dictionary workshops to develop scripts for some unwritten languages. This project builds on an earlier iteration titled “Grammatical Description and Digital Documentation of Endangered Languages of Nagaland, Northeast India.”
