Tech Policy Analyst, NetMission.Asia Asia Pacific Policy Observatory
Papua New Guinea
"As a tech policy analyst with NetMission.Asia APPO, Songo Nore authored a case study highlighting how linguistic diversity in the Solomon Islands—home to over 70 vernaculars—poses major challenges to Universal Acceptance and Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), making multilingual Internet integration difficult due to the lack of a standardized writing system. He aspires to continue that work with CODI focusing on Papua New Guinea, as it is home to over 800 languages, the highest in the world. Songo's vision is to preserve cultural heritage and oral traditions of local vernaculars (e.g. Kafe Language and Tok Pisin Dialect) in PNG, by integrating them into the Internet with the help of AI and Machine Learning through the use of Latin scripts, specifically, English script."
