Adding N'ko Wordlist #57

Open NeilSureshPatel opened 1 year ago

NeilSureshPatel commented 1 year ago

Hi @m4rc1e! I was just about to start trying this out and I see that there isn't an N'ko wordlist. Wondering if one could be created. Fortunately, there is a tool that is being used to collect N'ko words primarily from N'ko news sites. Without an account you can get 1000 of the most frequent words from here. N'ko Wordlist There is also some n-gram data is that is useful too. N'ko N-gram

Would this be doable from this list? It does look like there are some English words that have been pulled in that need to be scrubbed out. Thanks.

Hey Neil!

Excellent request. 1000 words may be too few. However, it's better than nothing.

Do you have the urls for any N'ko news sites? we could potentially use this to make our own.

The main news site that is still regularly posting content is Kanjamadi. Looking at the site now I see they added a dictionary which may be particularly useful. N'ko Dictionary There is also content on N'ko Wikipedia We have been slowly propagating CLDR so there maybe some useful bits there as well.
