Overview of topic:
Kathabhidhana is an open toolkit for anyone to record their language in a human and machine readable form. It is a collection of open source tools, educational material, and open sample datasets. It not helps one to record their language but helps creating resources that can be used for building Machine Learning and Natural language Processing tools. I have personally recorded over 2000 words in my native language Odia. More about this toolkit are summarized in a quick video.
