Dataset Format

Each entry contains three fields:

{
    "latin": "Bihloorigandu thalhaalumugai thuhumathu kurevey meehun dhookohlaifi", 
    "dh": "ބިއްލޫރިގަނޑު ތަޅާލުމުގައި ތުހުމަތު ކުރެވޭ މީހުން ދޫކޮށްލައިފި", 
    "src": "617661736d76"
}

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("alakxender/dhivehi-transliteration-pairs")

# Access train and test splits
train_data = dataset['train']
test_data = dataset['test']

# Example entry
print(train_data[0])
# {'latin': 'latin text', 'dh': 'ދިވެހި ލިޔުން', 'src': 'source_id'}

Fields

• latin: English text
• dh: Dhivehi text in Thaana script
• src: Source identifier

Use Cases

• Machine Translation: Latin ↔ Dhivehi translation systems
• Cross-lingual NLP: Multilingual embeddings, cross-lingual classification
• Linguistic Research: Dhivehi language analysis, translation studies
• Educational Tools: Language learning applications

Data Sources

This dataset combines content from multiple sources. The src field indicates the origin of each entry, enabling source tracing and source-specific analysis. The src value is stored as a hexadecimal string, which can be decoded to identify the source name. Data quality may vary depending on the src value.

The data in this dataset is collected from publicly available sources. All content remains the property of its respective owners, and credit is due to the original creators and publishers. This dataset is provided for research and educational purposes, with the intention of supporting work in Dhivehi language processing and related fields.
