# Algeria French–Kabyle Toponym Corpus

A reproducible, georeferenced parallel corpus of Algerian place names extracted from OpenStreetMap, mapping `name:fr` to `name:kab`.

## Description

This dataset contains every OpenStreetMap object in Algeria that is simultaneously tagged with both **French** (`name:fr`) and **Kabyle** (`name:kab`) names. It covers cities, towns, villages, hamlets, roads, administrative boundaries, and localized points of interest (POI).

The corpus is designed for:
- **GPS localization** (bilingual map labeling)
- **Machine Translation** (French ↔ Kabyle)
- **Named Entity Recognition** (NER) for Kabyle
- **Speech Synthesis / ASR** text resources
- **Linguistic research** on Kabyle toponymy
