Text corpus

As mentioned before that there has not been enough work on Hazargi so I tried to gather different books from the people around, arranged them and made the dataset. I gathered some 19 Hazargi books which are in different contexts like poems, folk stories, history and literature, the word count is around 893,112.

Writing system

The writing system is in Hazargi with an Arabic script that includes some additional Hazargi based characters.
