| ### Dataset Summary | |
| The Swahili dataset developed specifically for language modeling task. | |
| The dataset contains 28,000 unique words with 6.84M, 970k, and 2M words for the train, | |
| valid and test partitions respectively which represent the ratio 80:10:10. | |
| The entire dataset is lowercased, has no punctuation marks and, | |
| the start and end of sentence markers have been incorporated to facilitate easy tokenization during language modeling. | |
