- Although this dataset aims to serve as a translation resource, it may not always provide direct word-for-word translations from English to Hmar. In some cases, the dataset includes descriptions or contextual interpretations of Hmar words, and it may also occassionally include phrases and quotes reflecting the nuances and cultural significance of the language.

- The Hmar alphabet includes the letter "ṭ" (with a dot below), but in this dataset, such words may be represented using "tr" instead. This format follows the conventions used in the **Pherzawl Diksawnari** dictionary by Dr. John H. Pulamte, which is the current source for this dataset.

  You can find these words in the `Pherzawl-Diksawnari` folder. This note is provided to avoid confusion, as future dictionaries integrated into this project (or other datasets) may use the letter "t with a dot" (ṭ) instead of "tr," and this distinction should be kept in mind.

+ **3** It is important to note that the translations (or descriptions) provided are often contextual rather than literal. However, these distinctions are not explicitly labeled, as doing so would require significant time and effort—resources I cannot currently allocate as this is a solo endeavor. My primary focus remains on data collection and script creation. I remain hopeful that the community will recognize the potential of this work and contribute to its growth.
