Bashkir LID

A compact language identification model for deciding whether short text is Bashkir or Russian. It is intended for Bashkir corpus filtering and local applications where speed and a small footprint matter.

Usage

from lid import LanguageIdentifier
lid = LanguageIdentifier()
print(lid.predict(["Мин башҡорт телен яратам."]))

Requires onnxruntime and numpy.

Model

Character TF-IDF n-grams (char_wb, 2–4) and a linear classifier exported to ONNX. Training texts are not redistributed.

Limitations

This is a binary ba vs ru classifier. It is not designed to reliably distinguish Tatar, Chuvash, or other languages. Short strings, names, OCR artifacts, and mixed-language text may be ambiguous.

License and provenance

The code and model export are released under Apache-2.0. Training texts remain in the source project and are not included here.
