The SPELLL-2025 conference, scheduled to take place at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Kottayam, Kerala, INDIA on December 18-20, 2025, is poised to be a pivotal event in the field of Speech and Language Technology, especially for low-resource languages. This Fourth edition of the International Conference on Speech & Language Technology for Low-resource Languages (SPELLL) is dedicated to the advancement and preservation of speech and language data technologies for less commonly used languages, focusing on their integration into the digital era and utilization in various industries, humanities, and social sciences.In a world where internet usage is escalating and most global languages have transitioned smoothly into the digital age, the plight of approximately 10000+ languages, especially regional and low-resource ones, is often overlooked. These languages, lacking in technological development, face the imminent threat of extinction. SPELLL-2025 aims to counter this by congregating researchers worldwide who specialize in these low-resourced and minority languages. The goal is to foster the development of speech and language technologies to preserve the linguistic and cultural heritage of these languages.
