Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The language called “Balti Tibetan: ‘’ belongs to the Sino-Tibetan, specifically the Tibeto-Burman language family. It is understood with variations, across populations in India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Burma, and Bhutan, influenced by local cultures and producing various dialects. Considering the diverse cultural, socio-political, religious, and geographical impacts, it is important to step forward unifying the dialects, the basis of common root, lexica, and phonological perspectives, is vital. In the era of globalization and the increasingly frequent developments in AI technology, understanding the diversity and the efforts of dialect unification is important to understanding commonalities and shortening the gaps impacted by unavoidable circumstances. This article analyzes and examines how artificial intelligence (AI) in the essence of Large Language Models (LLMs), can assist in analyzing, documenting, and standardizing the endangered Balti Language, based on the efforts made in different dialects so far.
