MMT: A Multilingual and Multi‑Topic Indian Social Media Dataset is a large-scale language identification dataset derived from 1.7 million tweets collected from Indian Twitter/X, annotated with coarse and fine-grained language labels. It supports research on multilingual and code-mixed text in noisy, real-world social media settings.

Dataset Usage Disclaimer ‼️
This dataset is derived from public social media content and may contain:- Offensive, sensitive, or biased material
- Non-standard or noisy language
Note: “This release contains only Post IDs/User IDs and our derived labels/metadata. We do not distribute tweet text, media, or full tweet/user JSON. Requesters must hydrate IDs via the X API and must honor deletions, privatizations, and other changes; any valid takedown request will be processed within 24 hours. Distribution is subject to the X Developer Policy, including the 1,500,000-IDs limit, and to applicable privacy laws (e.g., GDPR/CPRA). As a result, we have a reduced version of the file: MMT_distributable_without_tweets, which is under 1.5M posts (i.e., in the ballpark of 1.35M).”
