LombardoGraphia: Automatic Classification of Lombard Orthography Variants
Lombard, an underresourced language variety spoken by approximately 3.8 million people in Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland, lacks a unified orthographic standard. Multiple orthographic systems exist, creating challenges for NLP resource development and model training. This paper presents the first study of automatic Lombard orthography classification and LombardoGraphia, a curated corpus of 11,186 Lombard Wikipedia samples tagged across 9 orthographic variants, and models for automatic orthography classification. We curate the dataset, processing and filtering raw Wikipedia content to ensure text suitable for orthographic analysis. We train 24 traditional and neural classification ...
