THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE PRESERVATION OF MINORITY LANGUAGES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ABAZIAN LANGUAGE)

Abstract

The paper is dedicated to problems of preservation, development and popularization of minority languages under threat of extinction. The paper analyzes the role of artificial intelligence in the preservation of minority languages on the example of the Abazian language. The terms “language”, “minority language”, “artificial intelligence” have been studied. The paper examines the works on Abazian phonology and morphology by linguist K. Lomtatidze, and also presents the syntax section of R. Klychev, an Abazian linguist, historian, specialist in word formation, morphology, dialectology and history of the Abkhaz-Adyghe languages. The concept of “language cloning” is considered on the example of the Abazian language. The practical part of the article describes the existing applications based on artificial intelligence that contribute to the preservation and popularization of languages. Chatbots and robots that are used to save languages and allow their native speakers to continue using their native languages with the help of technological devices are described.
