Abstract
This paper presents work towards a morphologi- cal transducer for Hän, a Dene language spoken in Alaska and the Yukon Territory. We present the implementation of several complex morpho- logical features of Dene languages into a morpho- logical transducer, an evaluation of the transducer on corpus data, and a discussion of the future uses of such a transducer towards Hän revitalization ef- forts.
