Lexique de Mathématiques TAFSUT (New Version from 1984 version) — Français / Kabyle (Taqbaylit)

Description

Digital transcription of the mathematical lexicon published by TAFSUT (Série scientifique et pédagogique n°4, 1984, Algeria).

This dataset contains 2,226 French–Kabyle terminology pairs covering the full vocabulary of mathematics at university level: algebra, topology, analysis, geometry, probability, statistics, number theory, and more.

924 main entries (headwords) and 1,302 sub-entries (compound terms and phrases), extracted from the original two-column bilingual layout.
