		Abstract: This paper describes a system for morphological tagging and glossing of Sesotho, a southern Bantu language.
		Sesotho has a rich agglutinative morphology, and morphemes cannot be disambiguated on the basis of the bigram or trigram statistics that work so well for languages like English.
		Our system estimates a simple PCFG for Sesotho clauses from a small hand-annotated corpus in an unsupervised manner.
