Description

We introduce a new morphologically annotated dataset for the Orani Arabic dialect (ORN), comprising 33,000 words gathered from diverse genres, including written sources (11.83%) which cover topics such as college life, culture, history, humor, politics, and traditions, as well as spoken language (88.17%) spanning storytelling, music, and daily conversation. Each word is manually annotated with a fine-grained tagset that provides part-of-speech, root, pattern, and English and French translations of the glosses. The morphological annotation was performed using the Dialectal Word Annotation Tool for Arabic (DIWAN) and it followed guidelines established for The Dynamic Arabella Corpus (Arabella), with adaptations to fit the dialectal context.
