Places to look for corpora

- 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 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.
