One person to edit 250 AI articles per week? I’d be very surprised if they found them.

I travel to communities of minority language speakers and do language documentation and description. Language documentation is done through recording word lists and texts which are later compiled into corpora. Language description primarily entails studying grammar. often through the use of questionnaires. For example Dahl’s questionnaire is a common starting point in describing tense and aspect system. Here’s first few sentences of the questionnaire. The speakers are asked to translate the sentences into their language and, based on their response we learn how the tense system in their language functions. Typically it’s just a starting point and after the first few days of work with a specific questionnaire, adjustments and additional questions are made to better suit the target language. We also construct sentences in the target language and ask the speakers if the sentences are grammatical and what is their meaning. This part is very important because while a lot can be learned from text collections (and it’s usually a better source than questionnaires), it’s impossible to know from the texts alone whether a specific construction is ungrammatical or simply rare.

While I mostly do purely academic research, the results can also used to make textbooks and other learning materials. Annotated text collections are also valuable both for scholars and for heritage language learners.

For the sake of anonymity I don’t want to name specific languages I study. I work with two Uralic languages, one has a few thousand speakers, another has ~100-150 speakers, both are severely endangered by UNESCO classification.

Hah, I didn’t even think about that… My full username sometimes causes confusion because it makes some people think I’m into a specific variety of Japanese art, so I often use just the short version. And I’m too fond of my nickname to use another one.

I think you can create a community here.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for me. A classic roguelike with active community and regular updates as well as several forks. It also has a good amount of playable races. From classics like elfs or orcs and dwarves (RIP Mountain Dwarves you were too good for this game) to funky races like Vine Stalkers (sentient parasitic plants) and Armataurs (centaurs but with armadillo parts instead the horse ones) to cats and octopuses.

And the gods you can worship in the game are also very diverse. How about a slime god? Or someone who wants you to wear as much cursed equipment as possible in exchange for knowledge? Or maybe the one who wants everything to move veeery slooow and rewards you for killing mobs that are faster than you?
