社区主导的海拉语数字化平台，助力濒危语言传承。
Vavanagi: a Community-run Platform for Documentation of the Hula Language in Papua New Guinea
- 由本地长者主导、社区共建的语言数据收集系统
- 已积累超12,000对双语句对，覆盖9,000个独特词汇
- 实现从咨询到自主发起的全链条社区治理，属首个同类实践
我们介绍 Vavanagi，一个面向巴布亚新几内亚的阿斯特罗尼西亚语系海拉语（Vula'a）的社区主导平台，该语言约有10,000名使用者。Vavanagi 支持众包的英-海拉语文本翻译与语音录制，并由长者主导审核、社区自治数据基础设施。迄今已有77名译者和4名评审完成超过12,000组平行句对，涵盖9,000个独特海拉语词汇。我们提出多层级社区参与度评估框架，将项目分为从咨询到完全社区发起与治理的阶段。目前 Vavanagi 处于第5级：倡议、设计、实施及数据治理均由海拉社区掌控，据我们所知，这是首个针对此类规模语言的社区主导语言技术项目。Vavanagi 展示了语言技术如何连接乡村与城市成员、跨越代际、在社区自身定义下守护文化遗产。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present Vavanagi, a community-run platform for Hula (Vula'a), an Austronesian language of Papua New Guinea with approximately 10,000 speakers. Vavanagi supports crowdsourced English-Hula text translation and voice recording, with elder-led review and community-governed data infrastructure. To date, 77 translators and 4 reviewers have produced over 12k parallel sentence pairs covering 9k unique Hula words. We also propose a multi-level framework for measuring community involvement, from consultation to fully community-initiated and governed projects. We position Vavanagi at Level 5: initiative, design, implementation, and data governance all sit within the Hula community, making it, to our knowledge, the first community-led language technology initiative for a language of this size. Vavanagi shows how language technology can bridge village-based and urban members, connect generations, and support cultural heritage on the community's own terms.
