Mon-English Dictionary Instruction Dataset (Mon-AI Project)

📌 Project Overview

This dataset is a comprehensive, scalable, and high-quality Mon-English Instruction-Prompt Dataset designed specifically for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of Large Language Models (LLMs).

The Mon language (ISO 639-3: mnw) is historically rich but classified as a low-resource language in the digital and AI landscape. The core mission of this project is to scale Mon linguistic resources from thousands to 100,000+ high-quality instruction-output pairs, allowing modern open-weights models (such as Llama, Mistral, Gemma, and Qwen) to understand, translate, and generate authentic Mon text natively.
