📚 The Kashmiri NLP Resource Hub

Everything built for the Kashmiri language, in one place

Kashmiri research is scattered across arXiv, HuggingFace, government portals and university PDFs — which makes it hard to know what already exists, and easy to rebuild something twice. This is a single, tracked catalogue of 205 datasets, papers, models, tools and the groups behind them, spanning 1932–2026.

Where the effort is going

Resource count by task. The long tail is the interesting part — it shows which problems in Kashmiri NLP are still essentially untouched.
