Bhojpuri Language Technological Resources (BHLTR)

Introduction

The Bhojpuri LT Resources (BHLTR) project was initially initiated by me (Atul) at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi during the doctoral research work. BHLTR data contains monolingual, parallel (English-Bhojpuri), and POS annotated monolingual corpora. In this data, POS is annotated according to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Part Of Speech (POS) tagset.
