+### Dataset Summary
+
+### Context: 
+Some words, like “the” or “and” in English, are used a lot in speech and writing. For most Natural Language Processing applications, you will want to remove these very frequent words. This is usually done using a list of “stopwords” which has been complied by hand.
+
+### Content: 
+This project uses the source texts provided by the African Storybook Project as a corpus and provides a number of tools to extract frequency lists and lists of stopwords from this corpus for the 60+ languages covered by ASP.
+
+Included in this dataset are the following languages:
+
+* Afrikaans: stoplist and word frequency
+* Hausa: stoplist and word frequency
+* Lugbarati: word frequency only
+* Lugbarati (Official): word frequency only
+* Somali: stoplist and word frequency
+* Sesotho: stoplist and word frequency
+* Kiswahili: stoplist and word frequency
+* Yoruba: stoplist and word frequency
+* isiZulu: stoplist and word frequency
+
+Files are named using the language’s ISO code. For each language, code.txt is the list of stopwords, and code_frequency_list.txt is word frequency information. A list of ISO codes the the languages associated with them may be found in ISO_codes.csv.
+
+### Acknowledgements: 
+This project therefore attempts to fill in the gap in language coverage for African language stoplists by using the freely-available and open-licensed ASP Source project as a corpus.
+Dual-licensed under CC-BY and Apache-2.0 license. Compiled by Liam Doherty. More information and the scripts used to generate these files are available [here](https://github.com/dohliam/more-stoplists).
+
+### Inspiration: 
+This dataset is mainly helpful for use during NLP analysis, however there may some interesting insights in the data.
+
+* What qualities do stopwords share across languages? Given a novel language, could you predict what its stopwords should be?
+* What stopwords are shared across languages?
+* Often, related languages will have words with the same meaning and similar spellings. Can you automatically identify any of these pairs of words?
