+ # 🇪🇷 Tigre Wikipedia (tigwiki) Corpus
15
+
16
+ The **Tigre Wikipedia Corpus** is a foundational resource containing all non-template articles from **tig.wikipedia.org**. This dataset is essential for developing Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, such as language models, machine translation systems, and text generation tools for the **Tigre language (ISO 639-3: tig)**.
17
+
18
+ This project represents the dedicated effort of the Tigre diaspora community to build a comprehensive digital knowledge base.
19
+
20
+ ## 🌟 Background and Scope
21
+
22
+ The Tigre language Wikipedia was **approved and went live in December 2024**, marking a significant milestone for the digital presence of the language. This initial corpus is the result of a collaboration of more than **twenty diaspora volunteers** who continue to actively contribute content.
