The Payap Language Software Development Group

‘palaso.org’ is the website of the Payap Language Software Development Group, part of the Linguistics Institute at Payap University in Chiangmai Thailand. The Linguistics Institute is a partnership between Payap University and SIL International with the mandate to serve the language communities of Southeast Asia through linguistic research and language development. The Palaso Group develops new software to aid linguistic research and language development.

Current Palaso developers are Cambell Prince, Tim Armstrong, and Jonathan Anderson.

Current projects include:

  • WeSay - A simple and powerful dictionary building tool for non-linguists which will run cross-platform and on the One Laptop Per Child notebook. Status: alpha.

  • Chorus - A version control system designed to enable workflows for geographically distributed language teams.

  • Spell Center - An application for intensive spell checking/changing across a corpus, integrated with Enchant. Status: development.

  • Enhancements to the Enchant spell-checking engine to boost support for less-resourced languages. Any software application can hook to Enchant to enable spell checking.

  • Solid - A utility for tidying SFM lexicon databases and converting to various formats, including LIFT.

  • Reusable .net libraries for supporting less-resourced languages, including advanced collation and working with LIFT xml files. (PalasoLib and LiftDotNet)
