The Ormuri Literature Corpus is a collection of literary texts in the Ormuri language, compiled by Rozi Burki. The corpus provides valuable textual resources for studying, documenting, and preserving Ormuri, an under-resourced language spoken in parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The corpus is intended to support linguistic and computational research by making Ormuri literary content available in a structured digital form. It can be used for research in natural language processing (NLP), computational linguistics, language documentation, corpus linguistics, and the development of language technologies for Ormuri. The Ormuri Literature Corpus by Rozi Burki is also relevant to language preservation and cultural heritage initiatives. Researchers may use the collection to examine linguistic patterns, analyze literary texts, develop language models and other NLP resources, and conduct comparative studies involving related languages.

Ormuri is an Indo-Iranian language spoken by small communities in Kaniguram (South Waziristan, Pakistan) and in Logar Province, Afghanistan. It is considered a highly endangered language, with a comparatively small number of native speakers who are typically bilingual in Pashto and/or Urdu. Ormuri lacks a long-standing standardized literary tradition, and documentation and literary works in the language such as this corpus represent some of the limited written material available.
