Description
UD Tswana-Popapolelo is a translation of the 20 Cairo Cicling sentences (https://github.com/UniversalDependencies/cairo) annotated with XPOS, UPOS and dependency relations.
There are 20 translated sentences with a total of 234 tokens.
The entire treebank is labeled as test set due to its size. If it is used for training in future research, the users should employ ten-fold cross-validation.
