# Lokaniti Pali-Burmese Vocabulary Pairs

## 📖 About the Dataset
This dataset provides a clean, deduplicated collection of Pali and Burmese word/phrase pairs extracted directly from the Nissaya breakdowns of the **Lokaniti** text. It is designed to support lexicography, alignment tasks, and machine translation experiments involving classical Pali and Burmese languages.

- **Total Unique Pairs:** 1,640
- **Data Integrity:** 0 null values.

## 👤 Who Created
This dataset and its processing pipeline were independently created, curated, and maintained by **Khant Sint Heinn (Kalix Louis)**.

## 🗂️ Dataset Structure
Each entry in the `.jsonl` file contains a direct word-to-word or phrase-to-phrase mapping with all punctuation removed:

```json
{
  "pali": "အဟံ",
  "burmese": "ငါသည်"
}

```

## 🛠️ How It Was Created

The vocabulary pairs were automatically extracted and refined from the primary text via a processing script:

1. Parsing the traditional Burmese Nissaya commentary lines.
2. Isolating corresponding Pali tokens and Burmese gloss meanings.
3. Stripping all punctuation marks (`၊`, `။`, `-`, etc.) to create clean lexical pairs.
4. Filtering out duplicate entries to ensure high dataset uniqueness.

The source code and data pipeline scripts are publicly available here:

*Founder & Lead AI Scientist @ [DatarrX Foundation](https://huggingface.co/DatarrX)*

I am a Machine Learning Engineer based in Myanmar, focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Data-Centric AI. My work centers on building robust data foundations for low-resource languages, specifically Burmese (Myanmar)—by creating high-quality datasets, custom tokenizers, and specialized linguistic tools to democratize AI innovation.

Through open-source initiatives at DatarrX, I develop scalable data pipelines and computational resources—spanning contemporary Burmese corpora to specialized linguistic datasets, to provide reliable building blocks for next-generation language models and computational linguistics.
