Abstract
Asia Minor Greek (AMG) dialects are endangered dialects rich in history and cultAsia Minor Greek (AMG) dialects are endangered dialects rich in history and cultAsia Minor Greek (AMG) dialects are endangered dialects rich in history and cultAsia Minor Greek (AMG) dialects are endangered dialects rich in history and cultAsia Minor Greek (AMG) dialects are endangered dialects rich in history and culture that face a dire struggle for preservation due to declining speaker base and scarce linguistic resources. To address this need, we introduce a Universal Dependencies treebank of Pharasiot Greek, one of the severly endangerd AMG dialects. The present treebank is fully manually annotated and currently consists of 350 sentences from six fairy tales in Pharasiot dialect. Besides describing the treebank and the annotation process, we provide and discuss interesting phenomena we observed in the treebank. Most phenomena we discuss are related to contact-induced linguistic changes that these dialects are well known for. Beyond linguistic inquiry, like other treebanks for truly low-resource languages, the AMG treebank we present offers potentials for diverse applications, such as language preservation and revitalization, as well as NLP tools that have to be developed with scarce resources.
