The writting system for the Puno Quechua language is not formaly described, however there are some resources that can be mentioned. Linguistic resources for Puno Quechua, as cataloged by Glottolog puno1238, are predominantly from the 1963–1993 period, with limited publications post-2005. These materials offer critical insights into the Puno Quechua language's grammatical framework. Like all Quechua languages, Puno Quechua forms words by sequentially adding suffixes to a root and follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order.

Each row of a tsv file represents a single audio clip, and contains the following information:
client_id - hashed UUID of a given user
audio_id - numeric id for audio file
audio_file - audio file name
duration_ms - duration of audio in milliseconds
prompt_id - numeric id for prompt
prompt - question for user
transcription - transcription of the audio response
votes - number of people that who approved a given transcript
age - age of the speaker1
gender - gender of the speaker1
language - language name
split - for data modelling, which subset of the data does this clip pertain to
char_per_sec - how many characters of transcription per second of audio
quality_tags - some automated assessment of the transcription--audio pair, separated by |
transcription-length - character per second under 3 characters per second
speech-rate - characters per second over 30 characters per second
short-audio - audio length under 2 seconds
long-audio - audio length over 5 minutes
non-allowed-script - transcription contains characters from a writing system not associated with the language
mixed-script-words - a single word contains characters from multiple writing systems
mixed-script-transcription - transcription spans multiple writing systems, but each word consistently uses only one
