The dataset contains delimitation of borders of dialect regions, subgroups, areas and types in the Czech Republic. It is the result of an extensive expert revision that was based on various sources and made the delimitation exact and accurate. At the same time, the dataset corresponds to the underlying data of the Mapka application running at https://korpus.cz/mapka/
There are four files in this submission. Two files contain the delimitation of dialect regions ("oblasti"; both in GeoJSON and Shapefile formats) and two files contain the delimitation of smaller dialect areas, i.e. subgroups, areas and types ("oblasti_jemne"; again in GeoJSON and Shapefile formats).
Diachronic corpus of Czech sized 3.45 million words (i.e. 4.1 million tokens). It contains 116 texts from the 14th-20th century period. The texts are transcribed, not transliterated. Diakorp v6 is provided in a CoNLL-U-like vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus available via the KonText query interface to the registered users of CNC at http://www.korpus.cz
ORAL2013 is designed as a representation of authentic spoken Czech used in informal situations (private environment, spontaneity, unpreparedness etc.) in the area of the whole Czech Republic. The corpus comprises 835 recordings from 2008–2011 that contain 2 785 189 words (i.e. 3 285 508 tokens including punctuation) uttered by 2 544 speakers, out of which 1 297 speakers are unique. ORAL2013 is balanced in the main sociolinguistic categories of the speakers (gender, age group, education, region of childhood residence).
The (anonymized) transcriptions are provided in the Transcriber XML format, audio (with corresponding anonymization beeps) is in uncompressed 16-bit PCM WAV, mono, 16 kHz format.
Another format option of the transcriptions is also available under less restrictive CC BY-NC-SA license at http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-1847

ORTOFON v1 is designed as a representation of authentic spoken Czech used in informal situations (private environment, spontaneity, unpreparedness etc.) in the area of the whole Czech Republic. The corpus is composed of 332 recordings from 2012–2017 and contains 1 014 786 orthographic words (i.e. a total of 1 236 508 tokens including punctuation); a total of 624 different speakers appear in the probes. ORTOFON v1 is fully balanced regarding the basic sociolinguistic speaker categories (gender, age group, level of education and region of childhood residence).
The transcription is linked to the corresponding audio track. Unlike the ORAL-series corpora, the transcription was carried out on two main tiers, orthographic and phonetic, supplemented by an additional metalanguage tier. ORTOFON v1 is lemmatized and morphologically tagged. The (anonymized) transcriptions are provided in the XML Elan Annotation format, audio (with corresponding anonymization beeps) is in uncompressed 16-bit PCM WAV, mono, 16 kHz format.

Corpus of contemporary written (printed) Czech sized 3.6 GW (i.e. 4.3 billion tokens). It covers mostly the period of 1990–2014 and it is a traditional corpus (as opposed to the web-crawled corpora) with rich metadata containing bibliographical information etc. Although it contains a wide range of text types (fiction, non-fiction, newspapers), the newspapers prevail noticeably. The corpus is lemmatized and morphologically annotated by a combination of stochastic and rule-based methods.
The corpus is provided in a (semi-XML) vertical format used as an input to the Manatee query engine. The data thus correspond to the corpus available via the KonText query interface to registered users of the CNC at http://www.korpus.cz with one important exception: the corpus are shuffled, i.e. divided into blocks sized max. 100 words (respecting the sentence boundaries) with ordering randomized within the given document.
Corpus of contemporary written (printed) Czech sized 4.7 GW (i.e. 5.7 billion tokens). It covers mostly the 1990-2019 period and features rich metadata including detailed bibliographical information, text-type classification etc. SYN v9 contains a wide variety of text types (fiction, non-fiction, newspapers), but the newspapers prevail noticeably. The corpus is lemmatized and morphologically tagged by the new CNC tagset first utilized for the annotation of the SYN2020 corpus.
