Buore ođđa jahki!
...is Happy New Year in which language?
Rather than the typical LinkedIn New Year post listing accomplishments, thanks, and wishes for the New Year, here's a story from December.
We were contacted by a small school from the very northern parts of Norway, asking us: "Can your Edword solutions for feedback and plagiarism/ai detection handle the Northern Saami Language?"
Honestly, we didn't even know there was more than one Saami language. It turns out there are 9 and two that are extinct. Less than 30.000 people speak Saami. Northern Saami is the largest, but one more will probably become extinct as only 2 (two!!) people speak it. (Look it up on Wikipedia)
With some minor technical modifications, our systems could handle "Northern Saami, so even though this will never become an economically viable contract for us, we offered the client to make these modifications at no extra cost.
Our small contribution to maintaining language diversity!
Happy New Year, Godt Nytår!, Buore ođđa jahki!
