This paper builds such a resource for Tigrinya, which has about 10 million speakers. The authors release TiALD, a set of 13,717 YouTube comments. Native speakers labeled every comment for three things at once: whether it is abusive, its… 3. **[Natural Language Processing for Tigrinya: Current State and Future Directions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gaim-2025-natural-language-processing-tigrinya-current/)** *(2025 · 3 citations)* Tigrinya is a Semitic language with about 10 million speakers, mainly in Eritrea and Ethiopia. NLP research has largely neglected it, and until this paper nobody had written a focused overview of its computational work. The authors searched several academic databases and also included theses and technical reports.… 4. **[Tigrinya Number Verbalization: Rules, Algorithm, and Implementation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gaim-2026-tigrinya-number-verbalization-rules-algorithm/)** *(2026)* Tigrinya has about 10 million speakers but few computational resources. Common tools such as num2words do not support it, so systems like TTS and ASR have no reliable way to turn digits into spoken words. The authors write down the standard rules for saying numbers aloud: cardinals, ordinals, decimals, negatives… ## Also in our library 1 more work of theirs is in our library without a page here yet; it will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 1 co-author with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jong C.
