We seek datasets of languages spoken in the South East Asia. The total number of unique languages spoken in this region is 1304 languages. Please refer to this spreadsheet to check the full list.
Yes! We accept non-indigenous languages spoken in SEA regions, e.g., English, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Tamil, Cantonese, etc. Since this initiative is mainly to represent SEA, please make sure that those datasets are either collected: 1) from speakers in SEA or 2) in SEA regions.
A creole is a language that comes from a simplified version of another language, or the mix of two or more languages. In Singapore, people speak a creole that's mostly based on English. Any creoles that are based on SEA official and/or indigenous languages (e.g., Singlish is based on English) are welcome!
