GlotLID Corpus

This is the corpus used to train the open GlotLID model, a language identification model capable of classifying ~2000 labels. The list of raw texts supported in this repository is openly available here: https://github.com/cisnlp/GlotLID/blob/main/sources.md

Download

The recommended way to download the data is through the Huggingface Hub:

pip install huggingface_hub

For faster downloads, make sure to install the additional transfer package and set the environment variable:

pip install huggingface_hub[hf_transfer]
export HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1

After granting access to this repository, you can use your HF token to download the data: Huggingface Tokens Replace your token in with "hf_xxXxXxXXXXxxxxxXXxxxxxXXXXXXXxXXxx"

To download specific language data (bal_Arab is Balochi language written in Arabic script):

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

folder = snapshot_download(
    "cis-lmu/glotlid-corpus", 
    repo_type="dataset",
    local_dir="./path/to/glotlid-corpus/",
    # Replace "v3.1/bal_Arab/*" with the path for any other language available in the dataset
    allow_patterns="v3.1/bal_Arab/*",
    token="hf_xxXxXxXXXXxxxxxXXxxxxxXXXXXXXxXXxx"
)

To download the whole dataset (v3.1):

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

folder = snapshot_download(
    "cis-lmu/glotlid-corpus", 
    repo_type="dataset",
    local_dir="./path/to/glotlid-corpus/",
    allow_patterns="v3.1/*",
    token="hf_xxXxXxXXXXxxxxxXXxxxxxXXXXXXXxXXxx"
)

Data Format

GlotLID v3.1 is the collection of data used to train GlotLID v3, with some edits (v3.1). Each language_script has a folder; for example, v3.1/bal_Arab is for Balochi written in the Arabic script. In each language folder, you will find .txt files. For example, in v3.1/bal_Arab, you will find bal_Arab_GlotSparse.txt, indicating that this data comes from the GlotSparse source. Another example is bal_Arab_bloombooks+bcc.txt, indicating that this data comes from the Bloombooks source, but in Bloombooks, it was introduced with bcc language label as metadata. Here, we change it to its macro language code, bal, for better classification.

The codes we use for representing the languages are 3-letter ISO 639 codes: bal: https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/bal For the scripts, we use ISO 15924: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15924 For example, Arab represents Arabic.
