Languages you may not choose

Places to look for corpora
- List of Wikipedias by language - you probably want at least 1000 articles for it to be useful for this class, but somewhat smaller wikipedias can also work if there are other resources
- Institute for Bible Translation - mostly languages of Russia
- bible.is - a whole bunch of bible translations
- If you can figure out enough of your language to do an internet search for resources in it, you may be able to find news, entertainment, or informational websites.
- If your language is particularly small, there may be nothing or nearly nothing available in the language. If you can't find any print materials either, consider choosing another language.
