This paper presents the creation of initial bilingual corpora for thirteen
very low-resource languages of India, all from Northeast India. It also
presents the results of initial translation efforts in these languages. It
creates the first-ever parallel corpora for these languages and provides
initial benchmark neural machine translation results for these languages. We
intend to extend these corpora to include a large number of low-resource Indian
languages and integrate the effort with our prior work with African and
American-Indian languages to create corpora covering a large number of
languages from across the world.
