Description
UD_Gwichin-TueCL is a small treebank of Alaskan Gwich’in, an endangered Athabascan language, based on material located in the Alaska Native Language Archive.
UD_Gwichin-TueCL is a small treebank of Alaskan Gwich’in, the first treebank of an Athabascan language in UD. Gwich’in, also known as Dinjii zhuh ginjik, is an endangered language spoken in Alaska and Canada by no more than 500 people.
This treebank began as a course project at the University of Tübingen in Germany. The data used in this treebank is based on material located in the Alaska Native Language Archive in Fairbanks, Alaska, the developer’s hometown.
Acknowledgments
I want to thank the native Gwich’in speakers and the Doyon Foundation whose materials I’ve used to learn the Gwich’in language. I’d also like to thank Michael Krauss and Siri Tuttle who inspired my interest in Athabascan languages.
