+# Pristine Twi Dataset
+
+A large-scale Twi language dataset containing clean and naturally sounding Twi text across
+four distinct styles — monologue, narrative, dialogue, and storytelling — generated
+from real Ghanaian news topics as inspiration to keep it grounded on Ghanaian named entities and vocabulary.
+
+This dataset was built to support the development of Twi language models, tokenizers,
+and other NLP tools for the Akan language family.
+
+## Dataset Details
+
+| Field        | Detail                        |
+|------------- |-------------------------------|
+| Language     | Twi (tw) — Akan, Ghana        |
+| License      | CC BY 4.0                     |
+| Author       | Mich-Seth Owusu               |
+| Organization | Ghana NLP Community           |
+| Format       | Parquet (columnar)            |
+
+## Columns
+
+| Column       | Type   | Description                              |
+|--------------|--------|------------------------------------------|
+| `twi`        | string | Twi text snippet                         |
+| `style`      | string | Monologue, Narrative, Dialogue, Storyful |
+| `char_count` | int    | Character count of the Twi text          |
+
+## Text Styles
+
+The dataset contains Twi text categorized into four distinct styles:
+
+- **Monologue** (*ɔkasafo biako*) — passionate, personal perspective
+- **Narrative** (*abakɔsɛm*) — journalistic, structured account
+- **Dialogue** (*nkɔmmɔdie*) — conversational exchange
+- **Storyful** (*anansesɛm*) — dramatic, metaphorical storytelling
+
+## Generation
+
+Text was generated using the Gemini API with Ghanaian news paragraphs as
+prompts, separated into stylistic chunks, then cleaned to remove speaker 
+labels, markdown artifacts, and any responses that failed Twi language validation.
+
+The code for generating the dataset can be found here: https://github.com/GhanaNLP/NLP-scripts/blob/main/text/generate_twi-gemini.py
