Language technology resources and tools for Mansi: an overview

In this paper, we offer an overview of language technology tools and resources (being) developed for an endangered minority language, Mansi. We pay special attention to lexical resources and morphological analyzers. Online dictionaries, morphological analyzers and a corpus are already available (or will be made available soon) for the language, which are described in the paper. Moreover, we also briefly present our efforts to contribute to the field of Mansi language technology. In several cases the weaknesses of existing resources or tools motivated us to implement some new tools, which are also presented in the paper. All of the tools and resources developed by us will be made freely available for the research community and anyone interested.
