A modern, real-world Sindhi news corpus for Sindhi NLP, linguistic research, and digital preservation, covering multiple registers (formal editorials → mixed-style ads).
What’s included: headlines, editorials, finance/business items, advertisements (complete textual content)
Granularity: one combined corpus file (all issues/content concatenated in a single .txt file)
Single combined TXT file: Keep the original file as Raw (unchanged) and create a second Clean version derived from it.
Raw: the full newspaper text as collected (one combined .txt file)
Clean: preprocessing on the combined file, including:
remove or normalize alphanumeric strings, extra symbols, and non-Sindhi characters (as needed)
Unicode normalization + whitespace/punctuation cleanup
optional removal of repeated boilerplate (if present)
sentence segmentation / parsing to create training-ready units
Optional (recommended): redact or mask PII that may appear in advertisements/classifieds (phone numbers, emails, addresses) before release or model training.
Note: Since the file contains the entire newspaper content in one text, it may require the above cleaning and sentence parsing to be used reliably for training purposes.
Ads/classifieds may contain personal details. Avoid releasing unredacted PII; don’t enable doxxing/targeting uses.
Written-news register (not speech), Karachi-centric coverage, ads can skew vocabulary, OCR may introduce systematic errors.
