Technological support for Greek, one of Europe’s lesser spoken languages, has progressed in the past decade, while LRTs have both increased in volume and improved in quality and coverage. Despite this progress, when compared to the ‘big languages’, Greek is obviously disadvantaged. Prominent among the challenges is the fact that LT is not included in the language policies or AI strategies of Greece and Cyprus, i. e., the significance of language-centric AI is still not officially recognised. Lack of continuity in research and development funding is an additional factor hampering progress. A Europe-wide coordinated initiative focused on overcoming the differences in language technology readiness for European languages coupled with national targeted actions is considered necessary.
