    Dear Thapelo

    Mike Maxwell is right: Sonja Bosch (project leader) and Laurette
    Pretorius from Unisa, in collaboration with various other people, are
    working on morphological analysers for the South African languages.
    Rigardt Pretroius (ntlrsp@puk.ac.za) from the North-West University is
    their collaborator on the Setswana part of the project. The project is
    sponsored by the South African National Research Foundation.

    One of our MA students, Karien Brits (bkkjhb@puk.ac.za), is currently
    also working on a finite state morphological analyser for Setswana,
    using the FSA tools from Groningen.

    Hope this info helps.

    Yours,
    Gerhard

    I am looking for work on the morphological analyser of Setswana or
    Sesotho
    using Xerox Tools (Beesley&Karttunen) or any Bantu language. I am
    interested
    in developing the analyser for Setswana but I am wondering if there
    are
    other people working in this area currently (or have done some work in
    the
    past). Any help will be appreciated.

    Best wishes

    Thapelo
