I'm doing a project for one of my classes (Computational Morphology) that requires creating a Finite-State Transducer to represent the morphological inflections of a language other than English. That's like; making a program that recognizes words from the language, and knows how to inflect them depending on the grammatical category. So, Smaug being weird, she decided to try something completely new.
I picked Inuktitut as my language, having read that it's a language with tons of morphemes. The thing is, it's also a not-very-common language, and I can't find much about it online. I know that Inuktitut is a dialect of Inuit spoken in Northern Canada, and that it has it's own, like, sub-dialects or whatever. Thing is, I don't know which dialect to pick, and where to find lexicons and grammars and whatnot.
I have to decide by Friday (coming) which language to try to represent, and prepare a short proposal (about 1000 words) on the morphological details of the language, and what parts of it I hope to implement in my FST. Er.. can anyone please help?
I will repay you somehow, make you a thank-you card - and credit you in my project too!
