<H2>About</H2>
<P>
Grammatical Framework (GF), <a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org/">grammaticalframework.org</a>, is a multilingual grammar formalism
based on the idea of a shared abstract syntax and mappings between the abstract syntax and
concrete languages. GF has hundreds of users all over the world.
</P>
<P>
The GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL) implements the morphology (inflection) and basic syntax
(phrase structure) of some 26 languages:
Bulgarian,
Catalan,
Chinese,
Danish,
Dutch,
English,
Finnish,
French,
German,
Hindi,
Interlingua,
Japanese,
Italian,
Latvian,
Nepali,
Norwegian bokmål,
Persian,
Polish,
Punjabi,
Romanian,
Russian,
Sindhi,
Spanish,
Swedish,
Thai, and
Urdu.
These resources are freely available as open-source software. More languages are under construction,
in both in-house and external projects.
</P>
<P>
We are especially interested in EU languages not yet covered by the Resource Grammar Library,
namely: Estonian, Lithuanian, Irish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, Portuguese, Greek, and Maltese.
Learn more at the <a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/status.html">RGL status page</a>.
Embedded grammars are parsing and generation programs compiled from GF grammars and usable as parts of programs written in other languages: Haskell, Java, and JavaScript.
