_DESCRIPTION = """\
MasakhaNER 2.0 is the largest publicly available high-quality dataset for named entity recognition (NER) in 20 African languages.

Named entities are phrases that contain the names of persons, organizations, locations, times and quantities.

Example:
[PER Wolff] , currently a journalist in [LOC Argentina] , played with [PER Del Bosque] in the final years of the seventies in [ORG Real Madrid] .
MasakhaNER is a named entity dataset consisting of PER, ORG, LOC, and DATE entities annotated by Masakhane for 20 African languages:
- Bambara (bam)
- Ghomala (bbj)
- Ewe (ewe)
- Fon (fon)
- Hausa (hau)
- Igbo (ibo)
- Kinyarwanda (kin)
- Luganda (lug)
- Dholuo (luo) 
- Mossi (mos)
- Chichewa (nya)
- Nigerian Pidgin
- chShona (sna)
- Kiswahili (swą)
- Setswana (tsn)
- Twi (twi)
- Wolof (wol)
- isiXhosa (xho)
- Yorùbá (yor)
- isiZulu (zul)

The train/validation/test sets are available for all the ten languages.
