The aim of this conference is to provide an overview of the state of
the art in research on lesser used languages, with special reference
to their computational support.

Central to the conference are methodological issues such as:

* strategies for an efficient support of lesser used languages,
* problems with theoretical approaches developed for major languages
when applied to lesser used languages and
* the cultural, economical and political specificity of a user group
for which computational resources are created.

Furthermore, the conference intends to promote the networking among
participants in order to enhance the exchange of information,
experience and resources.
