Summary
"Tamil is spoken mainly in South Asia, and is an official language of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the sovereign nations of Sri Lanka and Singapore, and the Union Territory of Puducherry. Data was collected in the following genres: discussion forum, news, reference, social network, and weblogs. Both monolingual text collection and parallel text creation involved a combination of manual and automatic methods. Data volumes are as follows: Over 41 million words of Tamil monolingual text, over 226,000 of which were translated into English -- 680,000 words of found Tamil-English parallel text -- 81,000 Tamil words translated from English data. Over 78,000 words are annotated for named entities, and over 24,000 words were annotated for full entity including nominals and pronouns, simple semantic annotation, situation frame annotation, and entity linking. Lexical resources and software tools are also included in this release. The tools recreate original source data from the processed XML material, condition text data users download from Twitter, apply sentence segmentation to raw text, and support named entity tagging. Monolingual and parallel text are presented in XML with associated dtds. Annotation data is presented as tab delimited files or XML. All text is UTF-8 encoded." --LDC online catalog.
