This adds translation artifacts and keeps a US- and Europe-centred knowledge bias that may not matter to speakers of other languages. The authors measure this bias and build an alternative. Around 200 annotators, both paid… 2. **[BHASA: A Holistic Southeast Asian Linguistic and Cultural Evaluation Suite for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/leong-2023-bhasa-holistic-southeast-asian-linguistic/)** *(2023 · 33 citations)* Most large-scale LLM benchmarks, such as HELM and BIG-bench, focus on English. Southeast Asian (SEA) languages get little systematic evaluation. BHASA addresses this gap with an evaluation suite in three parts: 3. **[SEA-LION: Southeast Asian Languages in One Network](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ng-2025-sea-lion-southeast-asian-languages/)** *(2025 · 29 citations)* Most open LLMs are designed around English and perform poorly on Southeast Asian languages. Lower-resource ones such as Burmese, Lao, Khmer and Filipino are hit hardest, and even regional models like SeaLLMs and Sailor fall short on Thai and Tamil. The AI Singapore team responds with SEA-LION, two instruction-tuned… 4. **[SEA-Guard: Culturally Grounded Multilingual Safeguard for Southeast Asia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tasawong-2026-sea-guard-culturally-grounded-multilingual/)** *(2026)* Most safety classifiers that screen LLM inputs and outputs are built for English. Multilingual ones usually depend on machine-translated English data, which serves Southeast Asian languages poorly and misses local cultural, religious and regulatory sensitivities. The authors address this gap with an agentic synthesis… 5. **[SEA-SafeguardBench: Culturally Grounded Safety Benchmark for Southeast Asian Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tasawong-2026-sea-safeguardbench-culturally-grounded-safety/)** *(2026)* Safeguard models that screen LLM inputs and outputs for harm are mostly tested in English. Multilingual safety benchmarks usually rely on machine translation, which can distort low-resource languages and miss local cultural risks. Southeast Asia has especially little coverage. SEA-SafeguardBench addresses this gap… 6. **[\Wh\-questions in Singapore English tell us what about questions with declarative syntax?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sato-2017-i-wh-i-questions-singapore/)** *(2017)* This squib questions a typological claim by Bobaljik & Wurmbrand (2015, "B&W"). B&W argue that no language genuinely combines English-style wh-fronting with Chinese-style wh-in-situ. On their account, apparent optional in-situ questions in fronting languages are questions with declarative syntax (DSQs).
