Abstract: Like many indigenous languages of North America, the Iroquoian language Seneca is endangered, with fewer than fifty living native speakers. Although descriptive grammars of Seneca exist, there are few texts and recordings available to support immersion programs and other revitalization efforts. In a collaboration between university researchers and Seneca community members, we are working to produce textual and audio documentation of the Seneca language using both existing toolkits and custom architectures. We find that while some toolkits yield promising results, the morphological complexity of Seneca and the variable quality of the available recordings present challenges for deploying one-size-fits-all solutions.
