  ABSTRACT: Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed significant advancements, particularly with the development of multilingual models. However, a persistent challenge remains: the resource asymmetry among languages. This interdisciplinary analysis bridges the gap between computational linguistics, sociolinguistics, and ethics to diagnose resource asymmetry in multilingual NLP. We introduce metrics (RPI, LCS, TECS) quantifying disparities and demonstrate, through case studies, how policy and community-driven models can foster equitable language. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of resource asymmetry in multilingual NLP, examining the contributing factors, evaluating existing approaches, and identifying research gaps. Also, ethical frameworks and community-driven strategies are proposed to bridge the gaps in NLP, emphasizing participatory design and equitable resource allocation.
