Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages

In this survey we apply the methodology of [1] to the Uralic family with the specific goal of triage, to help the community decide where the effort is best placed. As in balefield triage, where the relatively lightly wounded and the very heavily wounded are treated last, here we suggest to direct the very limited resources of the computational linguistics community towards the middle class of borderline languages where neither vital nor still/heritage status can be established. e talk will complement from the digital perspective the survey of [2].
