Newar (Nepal Bhasa) Wikipedia text

Source

Newar Wikipedia (new.wikipedia.org), from the official Wikimedia dump. Wikipedia text is licensed CC BY-SA. This dataset keeps that license (ShareAlike applies to anything derived from it).

What was done

  1. Extracted article text from the dump (normal articles only; no redirects or talk pages).
  2. Removed lines shorter than 20 characters.
  3. Removed lines where under 80% of letters were Devanagari or Newa script (English, etc.).
  4. Removed exact duplicate lines (ignoring punctuation and case).
  5. Clustered lines with character n-gram TF-IDF + KMeans (20 clusters).
  6. Labelled clusters by reading samples. Clusters [12, 17] were judged to be Sanskrit by a non-speaker reading samples.

Files

  • newar_candidate.jsonl: 181403 lines
  • sanskrit.jsonl: 24290 lines

Each line is one JSON record: title, url, text, cluster, label, source, license.

Known limitations

  • NOT verified by native Newar speakers.
  • Newar, Nepali, Hindi and Sanskrit all use Devanagari. The script filter cannot tell them apart, so newar_candidate may still contain Nepali or Hindi.
  • Cluster labels came from a non-speaker reading samples; they may be wrong.
  • Near-duplicate bot-made stubs (lines differing by one name) are not removed.
  • The share of bot-generated articles has not been measured.
