### Source Data
- **Contributors**: Public Turkish archives, educational repositories, and open-access digital libraries.
- **Collection Process**: All PDFs were sourced from open-license or public-domain repositories that permit reuse for AI training and research.
### Other Known Limitations
- **Bias**: Primarily academic and formal Turkish; fewer informal or dialectal documents
- **Format Variation**: Some PDFs contain scanned pages or mixed Turkish-English content
- **Regional Coverage**: Focused on Standard Turkish; limited inclusion of Ottoman Turkish or regional dialects
## Intended Uses
