The First Parallel Multi-lingual Corpus of Amazigh
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Amazigh language is the autochthon language of North Africa. However, until 2011 that it became a constitutionally official language in Morocco, after years of persecution. Amazigh language is still considered as one of the under resourced languages. This paper presents the development of a multi-lingual parallel corpus (Amazigh-English-French) aligned on the sentence level. The objective is to be used in linguistic research, teaching, and natural language processing application, primarily machine translation. The paper discusses this aspect, and presents the corpus encoding. A multi-lingual parallel corpus, which brings together Amazigh, English and French, is a new resource for the NLP community that completes the present panorama of parallel corpora. To the best of our knowledge, this corpus is the first Amazigh-English-French multi-lingual parallel corpus. The built corpus is sentence aligned, including 31864 sentences. The alignment was done automatically, while the evaluation was done manually. The evaluation results are satisfactory, achieving more than 90%.
