Bashkir Word N-gram Index v11.4

Exact within-sentence word n-gram counts for Bashkir: unigrams, bigrams and trigrams for spellchecking, OCR post-processing and lightweight language modelling.

Overview

Exact word n-gram counts derived from a monolingual Bashkir-language dataset. The release provides unigram, bigram and trigram indexes for corpus processing, spellchecking, OCR post-processing, autocomplete and lightweight language-model experiments. The unigrams configuration doubles as standalone word statistics.

Files and Configurations

Config / File	Contents	Rows
unigrams	Word forms with rank, count, document frequency and normalized frequency	891,588
bigrams	Two-word sequences with exact counts	12,932,648
trigrams	Three-word sequences with exact counts	20,523,512

Bigram and trigram files contain only combinations with count >= 2, which reduces the impact of one-off noise. All n-grams are counted inside individual sentences; no n-gram crosses a sentence boundary. Counts and hashes are the source of truth in META.json.

Schema

unigrams.parquet:

Column	Type	Description
rank	int64	Rank by descending frequency
word	string	Lowercase Cyrillic word form
count	int64	Absolute occurrence count
doc_freq	int64	Number of sentences containing the form
freq_per_million	double	Normalized frequency per million indexed tokens

bigrams.parquet and trigrams.parquet contain ngram (words separated by spaces) and count.

Examples

Frequent bigrams:

N-gram	Count
шулай уҡ	189,285
бер нисә	96,602
тағы ла	76,519
халыҡ ара	66,179
шул уҡ	60,350

Frequent trigrams:

N-gram	Count
шул уҡ ваҡытта	32,571
бөйөк ватан һуғышы	18,904
тамағынан км өҫтәрәк	18,089
км өҫтәрәк ҡушыла	18,049
ярына тамағынан км	18,018

These are corpus frequencies, not curated phrase lists. Some highly frequent sequences reflect names, formulaic news language, repeated geographic patterns or segmentation artifacts rather than idiomatic phrases.

Method

monolingual Bashkir text → lowercase Cyrillic tokenization → sentence segmentation
    → within-sentence n-gram counting → count ≥ 2 → unigrams / bigrams / trigrams

• Tokenization: lowercase regex over Cyrillic, including all nine Bashkir-specific letters (Ә Ғ Ҙ Ҡ Ң Ө Ҫ Ү Һ).
• Boundaries: counts are computed within sentences; sentence boundaries are never crossed.
• Unigrams: derived from the canonical frequency index.
• Bigrams / trigrams: exact within-sentence sequences with count >= 2.

Quality and Use

This is a statistical index, not a normative Bashkir dictionary or a grammar checker. At this scale, words and phrases from other languages, borrowings, names, regional vocabulary, technical terminology, OCR artifacts and other noise may remain; this is normal for a large web-derived corpus. Always validate frequency based suggestions before using them in production, spellchecking, linguistic research or a user-facing application.

Limitations

• Presence in an n-gram file is not proof that a word or phrase is standard Bashkir.
• Frequent sequences can reflect names, boilerplate or segmentation artifacts.
• Counts reflect the underlying corpus composition, not usage norms.
• For OCR and corpus cleaning, combine n-gram scores with language identification, dictionaries and human review.

Usage

pip install datasets pandas

from datasets import load_dataset

bigrams = load_dataset("failed09/bashkir-ngram-index", "bigrams")
print(bigrams["train"].head())

Or directly with Pandas:

import pandas as pd

unigrams = pd.read_parquet("unigrams.parquet")
bigrams = pd.read_parquet("bigrams.parquet")
trigrams = pd.read_parquet("trigrams.parquet")

For large-scale processing, read only the columns you need and use Parquet filters or streaming batches where supported.
