Can NLP help less resouced languages to promote their use?

Today language technology (LT) provides many powerful resources to make easier the use of human languages. But all the languages are not able to use this technology.  Taking into account the different levels in using LT, we propose a classification for the 7000 languages in our world. Then we identify a set of language resources that could be useful to promote the use of less resourced languages. And then we describe the results achieved by IXA Group in using LT to normalize and to promote the use of Basque language.
