SEAlang

http://sealang.net/
Established in 2005, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education and the Center for Research in Computational Linguistics (CRCL), SEAlang provides language reference materials for Southeast Asia, with a special emphasis on the non-Roman script languages used in mainland Southeast Asia. At present, SEAlang offers the following services: SEACAT, a tool designed mainly to assist in transliterating Thai into romanized script (SEACAT also offers electronic guides for romanizing Burmese, Lao, and Khmer); LAB, which provides learning resources for students of various non-romanized SEA languages (still in the tentative stages of development); the SEA Classics Library, which features epigraphic texts, Indic and epigraphic dictionaries, and research-oriented software tools; SEAlang Archives, which features in digital form many rare and important texts, including Gordon Luce’s Mon-Khmer & Sino-Tibetan Papers, the Shorto Papers, and William Gedney’s dissertation “Indic Loan Words in Spoken Thai;” and finally, the Mon-Khmer Languages Project, which provides an array of language reference materials on the Mon-Khmer language. SEAlang is very much a “work in progress.” Additional content is still being developed. In the meantime, however, it is already an extremely useful reference tool.
