# Pashto Language Resources Hub (Pukhto/Pashto)

Open-source repository for Pashto language technology resources: datasets, models, benchmarks, ASR, TTS, NLP, and machine translation (MT).

This project curates verified Pashto resources and maintains reproducible tooling for discovery, validation, and documentation.

## Start Here

- Main resource search: [Pashto Resource Search](https://musawer1214.github.io/pashto-language-resources/search/)
- Project site: [Pashto Language Resources Hub](https://musawer1214.github.io/pashto-language-resources/)
- GitHub repository: [Musawer1214/pashto-language-resources](https://github.com/Musawer1214/pashto-language-resources)
- Hugging Face mirror: [Musawer14/pashto-language-resources](https://huggingface.co/Musawer14/pashto-language-resources)

## If You Searched For

This repository is relevant to these search intents:

- Pashto datasets
- Pashto ASR model
- Pashto TTS resources
- Pashto NLP benchmark
- Pashto machine translation resources
- Pukhto language technology
- Pushto AI resources

## Current Scope

- Build open Pashto datasets, benchmarks, and model references for ASR, TTS, NLP, and MT.
- Track practical tools, apps, and academic papers for Pashto integration in technology.
- Keep everything transparent, reproducible, and contribution-friendly.

## Resource System

Machine-readable and searchable resource pipeline:

- Canonical catalog: [resources/catalog/resources.json](resources/catalog/resources.json)
- Catalog schema: [resources/schema/resource.schema.json](resources/schema/resource.schema.json)
- Candidate feed (auto-generated): [resources/catalog/pending_candidates.json](resources/catalog/pending_candidates.json)
- Search UI source: [docs/search/index.html](docs/search/index.html)
- Search data export: [docs/search/resources.json](docs/search/resources.json)
- Resource index docs: [docs/resource_catalog.md](docs/resource_catalog.md)
- Automation docs: [docs/resource_automation.md](docs/resource_automation.md)
- Cycle runbook: [docs/resource_cycle_runbook.md](docs/resource_cycle_runbook.md)

## How New Resources Are Added

1. Auto discovery runs daily from `.github/workflows/resource_sync.yml` and updates `resources/catalog/pending_candidates.json` in a review PR.
2. Manual review checks quality, Pashto evidence, and license compatibility before promoting entries into `resources/catalog/resources.json` with `status: verified`.
3. Regeneration and validation runs `python scripts/validate_resource_catalog.py` and `python scripts/generate_resource_views.py`, then commits generated updates.

Shortcut wrapper:
- `python scripts/run_resource_cycle.py --limit 25`

## Quickstart

```bash
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python scripts/validate_resource_catalog.py
python scripts/generate_resource_views.py
python scripts/check_links.py
python -m pytest -q
```
