Since I am majoring in Computer Science I’d like to work with someone who is good with linguistics !
Three Languages that I would like to work on
1. Sebat Bet Gurage 2. Belizean Creole
Sebat Bet Gurage
Sebat Bet Gurage is a language spoken by about 2.5 million people in Southwest Ethiopia. The phrase " Sebat Bet" directly translates into seven houses and references the number of variants of this language. The most researched variant of the Sebat Bet Gurage language is Chaha. Chaha is primarily a fusional language due to its reliance on root-and-pattern morphology and the fusion of multiple grammatical categories into single affixes. It uses the ge'ez script like most other Ethio-Semetic languages. Unfortunately I can't find written text on this language so it would be quite difficult to work on.

Belizean Creole
Belizean Creole is a language spoken by approximately 150,000 people in Belize. Sources: https://www.ethnologue.com/language/sgw/ , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaha_language
