Abstract


Since United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared endangered languages, researchers have revitalized endangered languages in many fields. This study discusses a bibliometric analysis conducted to investigate research on the topic of revitalization of endangered languages in information technology. The study's aim is to assess research topics by identifying authors, institutions, and countries that influence research collaboration. The Scopus dataset (from 2002-2024) was obtained from journal articles (n=62) and conference papers (n=76) and visualized using VOSviewer 1.6.20. The analysis outcomes reveal a fluctuating trend with an increasing pattern. The United States, Canada, and China were identified as the top three countries in terms of publications. Meanwhile, the University of Alberta, Université du Québec à Montréal, University of Auckland, and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa are the most prolific institutions on this topic, with two authors from the Université du Québec à Montréal, Sadat and Le, being the most productive. The dominant research is related to computational linguistics. Meanwhile, topics such as phonetic posteriograms, integrated frameworks, and artificial intelligence are some of the potential research areas that can be explored in the future. Its implications for exposing the extent to which the development of endangered language revitalization can be accommodated in the field of information technology.
