The 11th International Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages (IWCLUL 2026) will be organized as a self-standing event. The proceedings of the event will be published in the ACL anthology. The conference will take place December 9-11, 2026 in Munich, Germany at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
The purpose of IWCLUL is to bring together researchers working on computational approaches to Uralic languages (e.g. Samoyedic (Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, Selkup), Ugric (Hungarian, Khanty, Mansi), Permic (Zyrian-Komi, Permyak-Komi, Udmurt), Balto-Finnic (Estonian, Finnish, Ingrian (Izhorian), Karelian (Livvi/Olonets, Viena, Southern), Livonian and Ludic, Veps, Votic, Võro), the Sámi languages, Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha) and Mari (Hill; East & Meadow). All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of resources and many are endangered.
