It proposes a landscaping of the AI tasks related to the analysis or generation of natural language, as well as other languagerelated functionalities that are associated to those AI systems. It identifies existing and competing terminologies, co-existing variants of the same tasks and functionalities, and how specific tasks can be affected by language diversity in terms of their role or their challenges. This includes all languages, dialects and variants, whether official or not. The relations among tasks or functionalities, and their interactions within pipelines, are discussed and illustrated. In addition, the document provides references to existing standards and published guidelines associated to those tasks and functionalities, highlighting their differences in case of competing standards.
