Swahili Verb Conjugation Dataset

The Swahili Verb Conjugation Dataset is an extensive resource containing over 319,156 meticulously compiled verb forms, designed to capture the intricate agglutinative morphology of Swahili.

Swahili, a Bantu language widely spoken across East Africa, features a highly developed inflectional system in which verbs are modified through prefixes and suffixes to encode grammatical categories such as tense, aspect, mood, person, and number.
