+# Latvian GF Resource Grammar
+
+There is an ongoing work to develop a wide-coverage reimplementation of the Latvian RGL morphology, based on [Tezaurs.lv](https://tezaurs.lv) dictionary data. Currently, the reimplementation covers noun paradigms and lexical entries, which will be followed by other parts of speech, eventually substituting the legacy Latvian RGL morphology.
+
+The reimplemented morphology and lexicon module consists of the following components:
+- `PortedMorphoParadigmsLav.gf`: automatically converted paradigm desrciptions from the [Latvian Morphological Toolkit](https://github.com/LUMII-AILab/Morphology/); please, DO NOT EDIT.
+- `PortedMorphoStemchangesLav.gf`: manually ported stemchange functions for the above mentioned paradigms; must be kept aligned with the [source code](https://github.com/LUMII-AILab/Morphology/blob/master/src/main/java/lv/semti/morphology/analyzer/Mijas.java) of the toolkit.
+- `PortedTezaursDictLav.gf` and `PortedTezaursDictLavAbs.gf`: automatically exported lexicon data from [Tezaurs.lv](https://tezaurs.lv); please, DO NOT EDIT.
+- `PortedMorphoUtilsLav.gf`: utility functions.
+
+For edits and improvements, please, contact us at lauma@ailab.lv!
