Abstract
This chapter gives a brief overview of Estonian LT tools and resources (Muischnek 2022; Liin et al. 2012). The Estonian language has only around one million speakers and so the market for Estonian LT products is also a small one. In general, the current situation of Estonian LT is acceptable for a small language, but far from perfect. The main force driving the development of Estonian LT has been the public sector and so the resources and tools developed by publicly funded projects are mainly open source. Nonetheless, during the last decade, the private sector has also engaged in creating tools and solutions for Estonian.
