アイヌ語古記録データベース

Volunteers on みんなで翻刻 and on Japanese Wikisource have transcribed, page by page, early written records of the Ainu language, beginning with the Ezo hōgen moshiogusa of 1792. This site turns the wordlists into structured data that dictionaries can take in, edits the prose into a readable text, and shows both beside the holding institutions' facsimiles. Every source is available to download as TEI XML, CSV and JSON.
