Towards The Development of a Bishnupriya Manipuri Corpus
This work provides foundational resources for language processing in Bishnupriya Manipuri, an incremental step for researchers and communities working with low-resource Indian languages.
The paper addresses the lack of a text-based corpus for the Bishnupriya Manipuri language, which is essential for computational processing, and reports the development of the first such corpus for this understudied language.
For any deep computational processing of language we need evidences, and one such set of evidences is corpus. This paper describes the development of a text-based corpus for the Bishnupriya Manipuri language. A Corpus is considered as a building block for any language processing tasks. Due to the lack of awareness like other Indian languages, it is also studied less frequently. As a result the language still lacks a good corpus and basic language processing tools. As per our knowledge this is the first effort to develop a corpus for Bishnupriya Manipuri language.
