We are pleased to announce that the INEL Mansi Corpus has been published!

The INEL Mansi Corpus has been created as part of the long-term project INEL (“Grammatical Descriptions, Corpora, and Language Technology for Indigenous Northern Eurasian Languages”) in the context of the Academies’ Programme, coordinated by the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities.

Mansi is a relatively well-documented language, with numerous grammatical descriptions and an existing corpus. However, not all varieties have been represented in previously available corpora. The present corpus addresses this gap by incorporating materials from the Tavda variety, alongside a number of texts from the Western dialect group. Most of the corpus data originate from the Northern dialect group.

You can find the INEL Mansi Corpus as well as all previously published corpora in the INEL Community of the UHH Center for Sustainable Research Data Management.
