# 🗣️ ESCWA-CS Corpus |
|
|
|
|
|
The **ESCWA-CS Corpus** was collected over two days of meetings of the **United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA)** held in 2019. |
|
|
It contains **intra-sentential code-switching** between Arabic and English, with some speakers—particularly from **Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco**—alternating between **Arabic and French**. |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset spans **approximately 2.8 hours of speech**, featuring **dialectal Arabic** and a **Code Mixing Index (CMI)** of around **28%**. |
|
|
It serves as a valuable resource for studying **bilingual and multilingual speech**, **dialectal variation**, and **code-mixing phenomena** in spontaneous meeting conversations. |
