Language varieties:
- General
- North Germanic (Faroese · (non-std.) Norwegian · Jutish · East Danish · Elfdalian · (non-std.) Swedish)
- West Germanic
- North Sea Germanic
- Macro-Dutch ((non-std.) Dutch · West Flemish · Zeelandic)
- High German
- Central German (Upper Saxon · Moselle Franconian incl. Luxembourgish · Colognian · Limburgish · Rhine Franconian incl. Palatine German · Pennsylvania Dutch · Yiddish)
- Upper German ((non-std.) German · Upper Franconian · Bavarian · Cimbrian · Mòcheno · Swabian · Central Alemannic (Swiss German & Alsatian) · Walser)
Inclusion criteria:
- Accessible to researchers
- Can be downloaded (easily)
- No extensive pre-processing required (appropriate file formats; no abundance of OCR errors)
Full sentences/utterances rather than word listsWe have relaxed this criterion and are now also including word-based resources useful for variationist research.- Data are contemporaneous or from the past century
- If only a written version is available, it should be (manually) annotated and/or showcase variation through phone[t/m]ic transcriptions or orthographies used specifically for that language variety
We focus on manual or manually corrected annotations rather than fully automatically annotated data. For corpora with an “uncurated” note, we strongly recommend manually checking the data quality, as it might be low or mixed. We've excluded corpora where we were able to determine large-scale data quality issues. Note that the webcrawl-based corpora likely overlap with the contents of some of the other corpora, and for languages with especially few resources, the overlap with Wikipedia tends to be extremely high.
The license names link to where the license is mentioned on the corpus website, unless the license is mentioned on the site linked in the first column, in the article accompanying the dataset, or in the downloaded corpus files. Always refer to the original corpus websites/papers to double-check the license information; we cannot guarantee that the information here is up to date.
