Explanation

Microsoft launched Project ELLORA (Enabling Low Resource Languages) in 2015 to bring Indian languages, considered as "rare," online. The goal of ELLORA is to impact underprivileged communities by enabling language technology, creating economic opportunities, and preserving local language and culture for future generations. ELLORA is focusing on three languages for now: Gondi, Mundari, and Idu Mishmi. Gondi is a South-Central Dravidian language spoken by three million people in India, Mundari is a Munda language spoken in eastern India, and Idu Mishmi is a small language spoken in Arunachal Pradesh and China. All these languages are endangered and project ELLORA aims to preserve them through digital resources.
