Tagin POS Corpus v1.0

This repository contains the first Silver-Standard Part-of-Speech (POS) tagged corpus for the Tagin language (ISO 639-3: tgj), a low-resource Tani language spoken in Arunachal Pradesh, India and South-Tibet, China.

Dataset Summary

Due to the scarcity of digitally available text for Tagin, this corpus was constructed using 5,000 sentences curated from legacy dictionaries and grammar books. It serves as a benchmark for sequence labeling tasks in the Tani language family.

  • Manuscript: A Silver-Standard POS Corpus and Baseline Models for Tagin, a Low-Resource Language (Under Review).
  • Language: Tagin (tgj)
  • Total Sentences: 5,000
  • Total Tokens: 23,136

Dataset Structure

Data Examples

The corpus is structured in a CSV format with two primary columns: the raw sentence and the corresponding tagged sequence.

Sentence Tagged_Sentence
tapa so aaba. tapa/PROPN so/ADV aaba/VERB
aaba bv aato. aaba/VERB bv/AUX aato/VERB
no aacho to. no/PRON aacho/VERB to/PART
aadak lo jilaka. aadak/VERB lo/ADP jilaka/VERB
aadak lvri bv aayo ke. aadak/VERB lvri/NOUN bv/AUX aayo/VERB ke/PART
no so aadv aadv mabv ka. no/PRON so/ADV aadv/VERB aadv/VERB mabv/AUX ka/PART
no aakor laku ka. no/PRON aakor/VERB laku/AUX ka/PART

Annotation Format

As shown in the snapshot, each token is followed by a forward slash (/) and its corresponding POS tag. This format is consistent throughout the 5,000 sentences of the GinLish MT project research.

POS Tagset

The corpus employs 21 hybrid tags compatible with UD v2, with specific morphosyntactic adaptations for Tagin:

Top 10 Most Frequent Tags:

  1. VERB (15.71%)
  2. NOUN (15.51%)
  3. PRON (14.14%)
