Description

A dependency treebank in Universal Dependencies (UD) format for Zazakî (Kirmanckî), based on transcribed spoken interviews recorded in situ in Dêrsim (Turk. Tunceli) for the forthcoming documentary “KUTENE – Last Dots of Dêrsim”. It provides manually verified POS tags, morphological features, and dependency relations.

This treebank contains manually annotated sentences of Zazakî (Kirmanckî), an Iranian language spoken in Eastern Anatolia (Turkey). The material is drawn from an interview with a female speaker recorded on location in Dêrsim for the documentary “KUTENE – Last Dots of Dêrsim” (producers/directors: Çiler Kiliç Kögel & Rojda Elu Orhan; forthcoming). The speech was transcribed, translated, and annotated by Mahîr Dogan.

Annotation follows UD v2.17 and adapts conventions for Zazakî’s profile: split-ergativity in past transitive clauses, overt case marking, ezafe constructions, postpositions and circumpositions, clitic/pronominal elements, and frequent multiword expressions typical of speech. Tokenization separates multiword tokens where needed; lemmas and features are assigned manually.

Acknowledgments

We thank the speaker(s) from Dêrsim who participated in the recordings, and the producers/directors Çiler Kiliç Kögel and Rojda Elu Orhan for access to source audio.
