In the context of the digital transformation of linguistics and the rapid advancement of natural language processing (NLP) technologies, the development of morphological resources for low-resource languages has become a crucial task in applied linguistics. This study explores the possibilities of designing morphological corpora and tagged models for the Karakalpak language—an agglutinative Turkic language that remains unrepresented in digital linguistic repositories.
