梳理阿根廷40种原住民语言现状，填补资源与数据空白
Indigenous Languages Spoken in Argentina: A Survey of NLP and Speech Resources
- 按七大语系分类梳理阿根廷原住民语言
- 基于最新人口普查估算各语言使用者规模
- 揭示普查设计缺陷并汇总现有计算资源
阿根廷拥有至少40种原住民语言，但多数面临消失风险，造成世界遗产与文化知识的重大损失。目前这些语言缺乏统一的使用者信息与计算工具。本文系统整理了阿根廷原住民语言，将其划分为七个语系：马普切、图皮-瓜拉尼、瓜伊库里、克丘亚、马塔科-马塔加亚、艾马拉和乔恩。针对每种语言，基于最新阿根廷人口普查数据估算全国原住民人口规模，并讨论普查问卷设计可能导致实际使用者数量被低估的原因。同时，对当前可用的计算资源进行简要综述，涵盖是否专为阿根廷方言开发的情况。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Argentina has a large yet little-known Indigenous linguistic diversity, encompassing at least 40 different languages. The majority of these languages are at risk of disappearing, resulting in a significant loss of world heritage and cultural knowledge. Currently, unified information on speakers and computational tools is lacking for these languages. In this work, we present a systematization of the Indigenous languages spoken in Argentina, classifying them into seven language families: Mapuche, Tupí-Guaraní, Guaycurú, Quechua, Mataco-Mataguaya, Aymara, and Chon. For each one, we present an estimation of the national Indigenous population size, based on the most recent Argentinian census. We discuss potential reasons why the census questionnaire design may underestimate the actual number of speakers. We also provide a concise survey of computational resources available for these languages, whether or not they were specifically developed for Argentinian varieties.
