- Expanding the Lexicon of Ge'ez Based African Languages: A Comparative Study of Amharic and Tigrinya (2026)
XLM-R's Latin-centred subword vocabulary splits Amharic and Tigrinya words, written in the Ge'ez script, into many pieces: on the authors' held-out text, 2.07 tokens per word for Amharic and 3.13 for Tigrinya. - MoVoC: Morphology-Aware Subword Construction for Ge'ez Script Languages (2025)
The paper argues that BPE subwords cut Ge'ez-script languages (Amharic, Tigrinya, Ge'ez, Tigre) at the wrong places, splitting stems and affixes.
