Revision as of 19:56, 21 January 2022

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).
