This initiative would not have been possible without their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to preserving the rich linguistic heritage of the Formosan languages. We are immensely grateful to the [Indigenous Languages Research and Development Foundation (ILRDF)](https://www.ilrdf.org.tw/), based in Taipei, Taiwan, for their invaluable contribution. ILRDF has generously shared their extensive data on Formosan languages with us, enabling our team to push forward in creating a comprehensive, machine-readable corpus. We owe much of our progress to their partnership. *** ### Contributors to the Corpus The following have contributed data to FormosanBank.
