# g2p Dataset (retag) - Cantonese (yue)

## Description

The Cantonese (yue) language corpus for the G2P (Grapheme-to-Phoneme) task consists of 68,500 Cantonese words/phrases, along with corresponding phonetic transcriptions for randomly selected polyphonic characters.

This dataset is retag from [https://huggingface.co/datasets/Naozumi0512/g2p-Cantonese-aggregate](Naozumi0512/g2p-Cantonese-aggregate) which included updated POS tag generated using pycantonese instead.  
As original it is formatted to align with the [CPP (Chinese Polyphones with Pinyin)](https://github.com/kakaobrain/g2pM?tab=readme-ov-file#the-cpp-dataset) structure.

## Languages
