This book emphasises the need for language resource development and its impact on society. It covers latest AI based tools and techniques used to preserve indigenous and endangered languages. The book also highlights latest AI based technologies such as Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) towards endangered language preservation. It discusses morphology analysis, translation support and shallow parsing of various tribal languages of India and abroad. This book tries to answer how digital technologies can make language revitalization accessible to future generations.
