The previous dataset has been deleted in light of more accurate and comprehensive translations. This update introduces a better-organized and reliable dataset for the Hmar language, featuring improved translations and formatting. The current dataset includes Dr. John H. Pulamte's dictionary, organized into the Pherzawl-Diksawnari folder, with each alphabet stored as its own CSV file. This dataset is part of an ongoing effort to create a comprehensive resource for the Hmar language. Further dictionaries will be integrated in future updates.
This dataset is part of my personal project to create a comprehensive dataset for the Hmar language. It includes Dr. John H. Pulamte's dictionary, scraped from pherzawl-diksawnari.com. No explicit license was found on the source website, and users should be aware that this data may be subject to copyright. The dataset is stored in the Pherzawl-Diksawnari directory with CSV files categorized by their starting letter. The previous dataset has been removed in favor of more accurate translations, ensuring this version is a better resource for Hmar language documentation and learning.
This dataset will continue to expand with additional dictionaries and resources as part of a larger effort to document the Hmar language.
Hmar is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the Hmar people in northeastern India. While not endangered, the language faces challenges in documentation and use, making this project essential for its preservation.
- Directory:
Pherzawl-Diksawnari/ - File Format: CSV
- File Naming: Each file corresponds to the first letter of the Hmar word (e.g.,
a.csv,b.csv, ...,z.csv).

This dataset is part of a broader project to create a comprehensive repository for Hmar language resources.
Although this dataset aims to serve as a translation resource, it may not always provide direct word-for-word translations from English to Hmar. In some cases, the dataset includes descriptions or contextual interpretations of Hmar words, reflecting the nuances and cultural significance of the language.
The Hmar alphabet includes the letter "ṭ" (with a dot below), but in this dataset, such words may be represented using "tr" instead. This format follows the conventions used in the Pherzawl Diksawnari dictionary by Dr. John H. Pulamte, which is the current source for this dataset.
You can find these words in the Pherzawl-Diksawnari folder. This note is provided to avoid confusion, as future dictionaries integrated into this project (or other datasets) may use the letter "t with a dot" (ṭ) instead of "tr," and this distinction should be kept in mind.
- Current Sources: Dr. John H. Pulamte’s Dictionary (scraped from pherzawl-diksawnari.com).
- Future Additions: Additional dictionaries and linguistic resources.
Released under the MIT License, but specific data may be subject to copyright.
- Language learning: A resource for English-Hmar translation.
- Research: Supporting linguistic studies for the Hmar language.
- Preservation: Documenting and safeguarding the Hmar language.
- NLP: Building models or tools for machine translation, language understanding, and other NLP tasks related to low-resource languages.
- Focused on basic vocabulary; not suitable for complex tasks or advanced NLP models.
GitHub: Hmar Language Basic Words Repository
This GitHub repository shares the same structure as the Hugging Face dataset but includes an additional chunks folder, where the data is split into four segments. It also contains an unsorted dataset in the root folder named data.csv.
