| Abstract | In this paper we describe preliminary work on Kawenn´on:nis, a verb conjugator for Kanyen'k´eha (Ohsweken dialect). The project is the result of a collaboration between Onkwawenna Kentyohkwa Kanyen'k´eha immersion school and the Canadian National Research Council’s Indigenous Language Technology lab.
The purpose of Kawenn´on:nis is to build on the educational successes of the Onkwawenna Kentyohkwa school and develop a tool that assists students in learning how to conjugate verbs in Kanyen'k´eha; a skill that is essential to mastering the language. Kawenn´on:nis is implemented with both web and mobile front-ends that communicate with an application programming interface that in turn communicates with a symbolic language model implemented as a finite state transducer. Eventually, it will serve as a foundation for several other applications for both Kanyen'k´eha and other Iroquoian languages. |
