Abstract

In this paper we outline a method of finding texts in minor languages of Russia in social networks by the example of VKontakte. We find language-specific markers – special tokens that contain letter combinations unique to a certain language and highly frequent in texts in this language. We use Yandex.XML to generate lists of web-pages that contain texts in these languages. We then download data from web-pages in the https://​vk.​com domain through Vkontakte API.
