SIGTURK is the ACL Special Interest Group on Turkic Languages. SIGTURK aims to foster a collaborative, diverse, inclusive, and responsible environment bringing together enthusiasts of Turkic languages to stimulate comprehensive, interoperable, modular, and reusable work that provides utility and leads to state-of-the-art research in computational linguistics and natural language processing.


== Membership ==

The official establishment of SIGTURK is on April 12, 2022. As of July 6, 2022, SIGTURK has 38 members.

=== Core Specification ===

To realize the vision of SIGTURK and to break the boundary of timezones that sync meetings require, SIGTURK authors an informative Core specification that defines a process and a set of guidelines to serve as many people as possible. SIGTURK Core is at https://sigturk.github.io/sigturk.

SIGTURK Core takes care of a few aspects:

* Defines a workflow to provide an open, ticket-traceable way to inquiry and contribute to the activities of SIGTURK,
* Aims to define conduct that allows the SIGTURK to contain alternative perspectives (such as consonant inventory of the proto-Language),
* Provides tooling guidelines to avoid common pitfalls such as non-normalized sources (by CI-checking NFKC sources).


=== Meetings ===

As defined by SIGTURK Core, the informal meetings take place on the Jitsi platform every Wednesday at 12 PM Eastern Time.


== Communications ==


=== Website ===

SIGTURK website is at https://sigturk.github.io.

SIGTURK members get up-to-date information from the mailing list at https://groups.google.com/g/sigturk.


== Future ==


=== Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Turkic Languages ===

SIGTURK plans to host a Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Turkic Languages.
