## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper examines approaches to generate lexical resources for endangered languages. Our algorithms construct bilingual dictionaries and multilingual thesauruses using public Wordnets and a machine translator (MT). Since our work relies on only one bilingual dictionary between an endangered language and an "intermediate helper" language, it is applicable to languages that lack many existing resources.
