圣劳伦斯岛尤皮克语（英语：St. Lawrence Island Yupik，ISO 639-3：ess）是一种濒临灭绝的多合成语言，属于阿拉斯加和楚科奇的因纽特-尤皮克语系。这项工作为书面文本的数字化提供了一个循序渐进的管道，以及使用该管道创建的第一个公开可用的圣劳伦斯岛尤皮克数字语料库。该语料库对未来的语言调查和自然语言处理研究具有很大的潜力。它也是为尤皮克语言的教育和振兴而开发的，其主要目标是使教育工作者和尤皮克社区成员能够方便地获得尤皮克文本。第二个目标是支持语言技术的开发，如拼写检查器、文本完成系统、交互式电子书和语言学习应用程序，供Yupik社区使用。
St. Lawrence Island Yupik (ISO 639-3: ess) is an endangered polysynthetic language in the Inuit-Yupik language family indigenous to Alaska and Chukotka. This work presents a step-by-step pipeline for the digitization of written texts, and the first publicly available digital corpus for St. Lawrence Island Yupik, created using that pipeline. This corpus has great potential for future linguistic inquiry and research in NLP. It was also developed for use in Yupik language education and revitalization, with a primary goal of enabling easy access to Yupik texts by educators and by members of the Yupik community. A secondary goal is to support development of language technology such as spell-checkers, text- completion systems, interactive e-books, and language learning apps for use by the Yupik community.
