== Project proposal: Torwali-Urdu MT pair ==

'''Title'''

Development of the language pair for Torwali-Urdu.

'''Why is it that you are interested in Apertium?'''

I am a Computer Engineering student with interest in linguistics. Apertium is the best place for me to work on linguistics using my computational skills. Also, Apertium is mainly concerned with minority languages, therefore, it will be a good platform for me to work on Torwali-Urdu MT also because of my knowledgeability of both Urdu and Torwali Languages.

'''Description of how and who will it benefit in society?'''

Torwali is considered as one of the endangered language of the world with number of speakers less than a hundred thousand. It is not normally being used for writing even by native speakers. Since a language can sustain and revitalize only when it is actively used in as much functional domains as possible, this project will equally benefit native users as well as non-native (Urdu users) to explore and use it. Most importantly, this project will not only boost the language computationally but also help preserve the language and reduce its vulnerability to endangerment by providing the first ever translation pair between Torwali and Urdu.

'''Reasons why Google and Apertium should sponsor it?'''

I am currently a student and I love to work in summers to earn some money. Through working on this project I will also contribute towards the strengthening of my mother tongue which is a less studied and endangered language. Through this project the apertium system will be added with a new language pair of Torwali-Urdu. Therefore, sponsoring this project will boost up my expertise in computational linguistics and enhance my dedication to the Natural Language Processing.
Which of the published tasks are you interested in? What do you plan to do?
I will work on the release of pair between Torwali and Urdu.

'''Major Goals'''
