Shobhana Lakshmi Chelliah studies how endangered and under-documented languages—especially Tibeto-Burman languages of South Asia—are recorded, preserved, and made accessible for communities and researchers. Her work focuses on language documentation methods, building digital archives of language materials, and developing tools and metadata standards so that recordings, photographs, and field notes remain usable over time. She also explores computational approaches such as automatic speech recognition to support this documentation work.
