Description

UD_Nepali-BK is a manually annotated Universal Dependencies treebank for Nepali, an Indo-Aryan language written in Devanagari. The treebank contains sentences from a fictional narrative story and an argumentative discourse text, and follows the Universal Dependencies v2 guidelines.

The UD_Nepali-BK treebank consists of Nepali sentences annotated according to the Universal Dependencies guidelines. The data comes from two text types: a fictional narrative story, Bhoot ko Katha, and an argumentative/discussion text titled Adhikar Thulo Ki Kartabya? (अधिकार ठूलो कि कर्तव्य?) from a Grade 10 Nepali school textbook.

The treebank covers constructions such as head-final SOV clause structure, case and postpositional marking, copular clauses, participial modifiers, converbs, coordination, discourse particles, and reported/evidential forms.

The annotation was carried out manually and includes lemmas, universal part-of-speech tags, morphological features, and dependency relations.
