# Tatar Books Collection (Cyrillic) 📚

This dataset, hosted by [Yasalma](https://huggingface.co/neurotatarlar), contains a curated collection of Tatar books in `.txt` format. The texts are in Cyrillic script and aim to support linguistic research, language modeling, and various natural language processing (NLP) applications for the Tatar language.

## Dataset Details

- **Language**: Tatar (Cyrillic script)
- **Format**: `.txt` files
- **License**: MIT
  
### Structure

Each text file corresponds to a unique Tatar book. The texts are structured as plain text, making it easy to parse and tokenize for NLP tasks.

## Potential Use Cases

- **Language Modeling**: Train language models specifically for Tatar in Cyrillic script.
- **Machine Translation**: Use as a dataset for Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration and other translation tasks.
- **Linguistic Research**: Analyze linguistic structures, grammar, and vocabulary in Tatar.

## Examples

Below is a short snippet from a sample text in the dataset:

```
Юл газабы - гүр газабы, дисәләр дә, җәфа күрмичә генә, Мәккә каласына килеп төштек. Кунакханәләрнең шәп дигәненә урнаштырдылар. Ашханәсе этаж саен, ашау-эчү бушка. Гыйбадәтеңне генә калдырма! Шулай итеп, без Согуд Гарәбстаны короленең кунаклары статусындагы хаҗилар булдык.
```
