🇸🇦 This is the Nadj Arabic Portion of The [FineWeb2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2#additional-information) Dataset.

🇸🇦 This dataset contains a comprehensive collection of text in **Najdi Arabic**, a regional dialect within the **Afro-Asiatic language family**. With over **562 million words** and **1.6 million documents**, it provides a valuable resource for developing NLP tools and applications specific to Najdi Arabic.


## Purpose of This Repository

This repository provides easy access to the **Arabic portion - Najdi** of the extensive **FineWeb2** dataset. My primary goal is to make this valuable data more accessible and impactful for researchers, developers, and anyone working on **Arabic** natural language processing (NLP) projects.

By focusing on Arabic, I aim to:

- **Simplify Access**: Provide a direct and streamlined way to download the Arabic portion of the dataset without navigating through the larger collection.  
- **Promote Research**: Enable more efficient use of  Arabic text data for NLP, LLMs, and linguistic research.  
- **Empower the Community**: Support Arabic language processing and contribute to the growth of multilingual NLP capabilities.  
- **Encourage Collaboration**: Foster an environment where researchers and developers can build impactful applications using Arabic data.
