%X IsiZulu and Siswati are mutually intelligible languages that are considered under-resourced despite their status as official languages. Even so, the available digital and computational language resources for isiZulu significantly outstrip those for Siswati, such that it is worth investigating to what degree bootstrapping approaches can be leveraged to develop resources for Siswati. In this paper, we present the development of a computational grammar and parallel treebank, based on parallel linguistic descriptions of the two languages.
