NENA Speech Dataset

Context

The Northeastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) Database Project has been aggregating language documentation materials for the NENA dialects. These materials include descriptions, including a description of the dialect of the Assyrian Christians of Urmi. This description contains 300 pages (8 hours) of transcribed and translated oral literature. These oral literatures are actively being parsed and uploaded to a database at pocketbase.nenadb.dev. The platform crowdsource.nenadb.dev allows the community to directly engage with these parsed examples and contribute their own voices to the database.

Goal

The goal is to publish this dataset to HuggingFace. Mozilla's Common Voice dataset provides an example implementation of such a dataset.
