Abstract:

Argentina has a rich linguistic diversity, which includes about 14 indigenous languages, many of which are gradually diminishing in usage. Natural language processing tools could help the indigenous communities to revitalize their languages, and to foster improved integration within the broader society.
In this work we present an overview of the linguistic diversity of indigenous languages spoken languages in Argentina, a survey of computational resources, including regional work, for these languages and variants and identify challenges and opportunities of working with the under-resourced indigenous languages spoken in Argentina.
