Description

A Universal Dependencies corpus for Zaar (aka Sayanci), a member of the Chadic branch of the Afro-Asiatic phylum. The language is mainly spoken by about 200,000 speakers in the Bogoro and Tafawa Balewa local governments of Bauchi State, Nigeria.

The treebank is an automatic conversion of the SUD_Zaar-Autogramm, which was extracted from Bernard Caron’s corpus in Elan format (https://corpafroas.huma-num.fr/Archives/corpus.php).

Sentences are annotated with the following metadata:

Acknowledgments

This treebank was produced as part of the Autogramm ANR project. With special thanks to Bruno Guillaume for the conversion from SUD to UD, Sylvain Kahane and Christian Chanard. A special tribute must be paid to Marvellous S. Davan, who transcribed and translated the Zaar Corpus, and met an untimely death in Bauchi at the age of 40.
