[INDOLOGY] Bangla language project

[Patricia SAUTHOFF]

Dear all,

I just read this piece on a fascinating in-progress Bangla language project and thought some of you would be interested.

"The team is crowdsourcing between 40,000 and 50,000 texts, and digitising magazines, books and newspapers from the 19th century onwards. Once the corpus is complete, analysts will comb through each word’s usages across time – like detectives piecing together a centuries-old trail."
