Timur and the Mansi spellchecker

Csilla Horváth


Abstract
The article presents the results of an experiment involving the use of the Mansi FST and spellchecker created by the GiellaLT infrastructure. The Mansi are one of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation. The Mansi language is an endangered Uralic language primarily spoken in western Siberia, along the Ob River and its tributaries. The present article discusses the efficiency of the Mansi FST and spellchecker when used for translating Mansi literature from the 1950s.
