The last six years have been very important for research and development of language technologies in Latvia. Several large projects have been funded by the government of Latvia, important tools and resources have been created by the industry, and since 2006 Latvia has participated in the CLARIN initiative. Although there is still a gap in language resources and technology (LRT) for Latvian and the more widely used languages, the current LRT for Latvian can already serve as a basic research infrastructure for the Humanities. The paper presents an overview and the current status of LRT in Latvia. Special attention is paid to the CLARIN project and its role for the humanities in Latvia.
