My experience tilts more "computational" than "linguistics". In particular, my knowledge of phonetics and phonology is weak. Therefore, I'd prefer to work with someone with a strong linguistics background and perhaps less computational experience so that we could complement each other!
Ngaanyatjarra
- ISO 639-3: ntj.
- An indigenous language of Western Australia, particularly Warburton.
- about 1,100 native speakers (as of 2016 census).
- Morphological typology: synthetic? (the WP article refers to afixation).
- Written exclusively in the Latin script without diacritics, so encoding text/a keyboard layout should be trivial (just use English's).
Sources
- Wikipedia article (contains some general info).
- Ngaanyatjarra's entry in the Australian Indigenous Languages Database refers to some grammatical descriptions and sources of text, but I'm not sure how to access/find them.
- Bible translations in various formats (the easiest for machine and my readability appear to be Epub/HTML).
Low German
- ISO 639-3: nds.
- West Germanic language variety spoken mainly in Northern Germany, with closely related dialects spoken in the northeastern part of the Netherlands.
- Estimated 4.35–7.15 million native speakers.
- Morphological classification: synthetic (declension of adjectives/nouns and conjugation of verbs described on WP).
- Latin script, with competing orthographic standards based on Dutch's and German's, so the Dutch and German keyboard layouts, respectively, should suffice.
