The Classical Language Toolkit (CLTK) offers natural language processing support for Classical languages. In some areas, it extends the NLTK. The goals of the CLTK are to:
- compile analysis-friendly corpora in a variety of Classical languages (Greek and Latin are in progress, with more in the pipeline);
- gather, improve, and generate linguistic data required for NLP;
- develop a free and open platform for generating reproducible, scientific research that advances the study of the literature and languages of the ancient world.

button in the repository's home (README.md
). To the end of your bibliographic entry, append DOI
plus the current identifier.
