11th Language & Technology Conference,  Poznan, Poland-2025

Workshop on Less Resource Languages India (WLRLI)

Dec 5-7, 2025 (11th LTC schedule)

This workshop will address the pressing challenges and opportunities in developing Human Language Technologies (HLT) for India’s low-resourced languages. India’s linguistic landscape, with over 1,300 languages and dialects (including 22 major official languages), represents both immense cultural wealth and significant technological challenges. While a few major languages have received attention, a vast majority remains underrepresented in the digital spaces due to scarcity of corpora, tools, and standardized resources. The workshop seeks to bring together researchers, linguists, computer scientists, and digital humanists to share experiences, present solutions, and foster collaboration in this domain.

 

Motivation:

The lack of standardized corpora, annotated resources, and computational tools has limited the development of HLT for many Indian languages, particularly Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit, tribal, and minority languages. The workshop will highlight strategies such as standards, community-driven resource creation, transfer learning and end-to-end multilingual models.
