Query: Computational historical linguistics and language diversity in South
  Asia   South Asia is home to a plethora of languages, many of which severely lack
access to new language technologies. This linguistic diversity also results in
a research environment conducive to the study of comparative, contact, and
historical linguistics -- fields which necessitate the gathering of extensive
data from many languages. We claim that data scatteredness (rather than
scarcity) is the primary obstacle in the development of South Asian language
technology, and suggest that the study of language history is uniquely aligned
with surmounting this obstacle. We review recent developments in and at the
intersection of South Asian NLP and historical-comparative linguistics,
describing our and others' current efforts in this area. We also offer new
strategies towards breaking the data barrier.
