Description

This treebank contains data of Southern Autogramm, for the (Tibiri) Gobir dialect of Niger Republic (Western Hausa).

The Gobir dialect is a transition between the Standard (Kano) Hausa and the Sokoto dialect (see SUD_Hausa-NorthernAutogramm).

The treebank contains 775 sentences, 14,663 tokens and 12,007 words.

It is maintained in the SUD framework: SUD_Hausa-WesternAutogramm and converted automatically in UD.

Acknowledgments

The texts annotated in this treebank were dictated to Claude Gouffé in 1968 in Tibiri (Gobir, Niger Republic). The translation and morphosyntactic annotations are by Bernard Caron.
