• Abstract: Collecting and annotating morphological data present significant challenges, requiring linguistic expertise, methodological rigour, and substantial resources. These barriers are particularly acute for low-resource languages and varieties. To accelerate this process, we introduce \texttt{CommonMorph}, a comprehensive platform that streamlines morphological data collection development through a three-tiered approach: expert linguistic definition, contributor elicitation, and community validation. The platform minimises manual work by incorporating active learning, annotation suggestions, and tools to import and adapt materials from related languages. It accommodates diverse morphological systems, including fusional, agglutinative, and root-and-pattern morphologies. Its open-source design and UniMorph-compatible outputs ensure accessibility and interoperability with NLP tools. Our platform is accessible at https://common-morph.com, offering a replicable model for preserving linguistic diversity through collaborative technology.

  Morphologically rich languages pose difficulties to machine translation. A large amount of differently inflected word surface forms entails a larger vocabulary. Some inflected forms of infrequent terms typically do not appear in the training corpus. Linguistic agreement requires the system to correctly match the grammatical categories between inflected word forms in the output sentence.
