HinDialect: 26 Hindi-related languages and dialects of the Indic Continuum in North India
Languages
This is a collection of folksongs for 26 languages that form a dialect continuum in North India and nearby regions.
Namely Angika, Awadhi, Baiga, Bengali, Bhadrawahi, Bhili, Bhojpuri, Braj, Bundeli, Chhattisgarhi, Garhwali, Gujarati, Haryanvi, Himachali, Hindi, Kanauji, Khadi Boli, Korku, Kumaoni, Magahi, Malvi, Marathi, Nimadi, Panjabi, Rajasthani, Sanskrit.
This data is originally collected by the Kavita Kosh Project at http://www.kavitakosh.org/ . Here are the main characteristics of the languages in this collection:
- They are all Indic languages except for Korku.
- The majority of them are closely related to the standard Hindi dialect genealogically (such as Hariyanvi and Bhojpuri), although the collection also contains languages such as Bengali and Gujarati which are more distant relatives.
- They are all primarily spoken in (North) India (Bengali is also spoken in Bangladesh)
- All except Sanksrit are alive languages
Data
Categorising them by pre-existing available NLP resources, we have:
* Band 1 languages : Hindi, Panjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Nepali. These languages already have other large standard datasets available. Kavita Kosh may have very little data for these languages.
* Band 2 languages: Bhojpuri, Magahi, Awadhi, Braj. These languages have growing interest and some datasets of a relatively small size as compared to Band 1 language resources.
* Band 3 languages: All other languages in the collection are previously zero-resource languages. These are the languages for which this dataset is the most relevant.
Script
This dataset is entirely in Devanagari. Content in the case of languages not written in Devanagari (such as Bengali and Gujarati) has been transliterated by the Kavita Kosh Project.
Format
The dataset contains a single text file containing folksongs per language. Folksongs are separated from each other by an empty line. The first line of a new piece is the title of the folksong, and line separation within folksongs is preserved.

Data
Categorising them by pre-existing available NLP resources, we have:
* Band 1 languages : Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Sindhi, Gujarati, Bengali, Nepali. These languages already have other large datasets available. Since Kavita Kosh focusses largely on Hindi-related languages, we may have very little data for these other languages in this particular dataset.
* Band 2 languages: Bhojpuri, Magahi, Awadhi, Brajbhasha. These languages have growing interest and some datasets of a relatively small size as compared to Band 1 language resources.
* Band 3 languages: All other languages in the collection are previously zero-resource languages. These are the languages for which this dataset is the most relevant.
Script
This dataset is entirely in Devanagari. Content in the case of languages not written in Devanagari (such as Bengali and Gujarati) has been transliterated by the Kavita Kosh Project.
Format
The data is segregated by language, and contains each folksong in a different JSON file.
The book [1] contains spelling rules classified into ten categories, each category containing many rules. This XML file presents our implemented rules classified with six category tags, as is the case in the book. We implemented 24 rules since the remaining rules require diacritical and morphological analysis that are outside the scope of our present work.

This resource is an Italian morphological dictionary for content words, encoded in a JSON Lines format text file. It contains correspondences between surface form and lexical forms of words followed by grammatical features. The surface word forms have been generated algorithmically by using stable phonological and morphological rules of the Italian language. Particular attention has been given to the generation of verbs for which rules have been extracted from the famous A.L e G. Lepschy, La lingua italiana. The dictionary with its remarkable coverage is particularly useful used together with the Italian Function Words (http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-2288) for tasks such as POS-Tagging or Syntactic Parsing.
This resource is the second version of an Italian morphological dictionary for content words, encoded in a JSON Lines format text file. It contains correspondences between surface form and lexical forms of words followed by standard grammatical properties. Compared to the first release, this version has a better JSON structure.

This resource is the third version of the Italian morphological dictionary for content words (http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-2630), encoded in a JSON Lines format. Compared to the previous version, it contains some minor improvements.
This dictionary is a curated list of Italian function words in a JSON Lines format text file, particularly useful for tasks such as POS-Tagging or Syntactic Parsing. It contains 999 single-word forms and 2501 multi-words forms. Each entry may have the following grammatical features: lemma, pos, mood, tense, person, number, gender, case, degree.
