Language Report Basque

Since 1968 Basque has been immersed in a process of revitalisation that has faced formidable obstacles. Nonetheless, significant progress has been made in numerous areas. The Language Technology community widely accepts the standardised language and constructs efficacious LT tools. After thirty years of collaborative work, research has resulted in state-of-the-art technology and robust, broad-coverage NLP for Basque. However, a dramatic difference remains between Basque and other European languages in terms of both the maturity of research and the state of readiness with respect to language technology solutions.
