+The GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL) implements the morphology (inflection) and basic syntax (phrase structure) of some 26 languages: @@ -73,24 +90,70 @@ Thai, and Urdu. These resources are freely available as open-source software. More languages are under construction, -in both in-house and external projects. -
--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 RGL status page. -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. -

Porting resources from other open-source approaches, +such as WordNets and Apertium, is one method of doing this. And +reciprocally, we want to make GF resources easily reusable in other +approaches. +
