The Noakhalian (নোয়াখাইল্লা) Text Corpus is a systematically curated linguistic resource comprising approximately 504,500 tokens of the Noakhalian language variety. This dataset is primarily composed of drama scripts, a multifaceted domain that provides rich insights into the phonetic, morphological, and sociolinguistic nuances of the Greater Noakhali region. By capturing authentic dialogue, cultural folklore, and everyday social interactions, the corpus serves as a valuable resource for dialectological studies and the development of computational models for low-resource Indo-Aryan languages. The data is provided in original .docx source documents and plain text formats to support modern NLP workflows.

Intended Use

Noakhalian (নোয়াখাইল্লা) (also known as Noakhailla) is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language variety spoken in Greater Noakhali, South Tripura, and parts of the Chittagong Division. Historically, linguists such as Grierson categorized it within the Southeastern Bengali group, while others like Suniti Kumar Chatterji and Sukumar Sen placed it under the Vanga group. It is recognized for its unique phonetic and morphological properties that distinguish it from Standard Bengali and other eastern dialects.
