1. Saraiki
Saraiki, which is similar to Punjabi in terms of morphology has absorbing morphology including inflectional and derivational morphemes (suffixes) to change the form and to derive new words.
Primarily spoken in the South Western Punjab region of Pakistan
Number of speakers: 25.9 million
Orthography: Written in either Urdu (with seven extra symbols) or Sindh ISO code: skr
It should be pretty easy to find a decent amount of Saraiki text. My partner and I were able to find multipls poems with a simple Google search.
2. Garhwali
SOV typology
Primarily spoken in Garhwali region of Indian Himalayas
Number of speakers: 2.5 million
Orthography: Devanagari, which is used by many Indian languages, including Hindi ISO code: gbm
The wikipedia page has a list of many contemporary works in Garhwali, so it should be pretty easy to find text online
Shares similar morphology with Mahakiranti languages
Primarily spoken in Sikkim, India by the Lepcha people
Number of speakers: 57,000
Orthography: Written using the Lepcha script
ISO code: lep
It might be somewhat difficult to find Lepcha text considering there are very few speakers worldwide.
