+# Pali Words in Myanmar Script (Master Index)
+
+This dataset is a master index of **220,252 unique Pali words** written in **Myanmar (Burmese) Unicode script**, intended for reuse across linguistic, religious, and computational workflows.
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+- **Creator:** [freococo](https://huggingface.co/freococo)
+- **Source:** Tipitaka Pali–Burmese Dictionary data extracted from the open-source repositories maintained by [pndaza](https://github.com/pndaza)
+- **Total Entries:** 220,252 unique words
+- **Format:** JSONL (JSON Lines)
+- **License:** CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain)
+
+## Data Fields
+
+Each record contains:
+
+- **`word_id`**: A stable, sequential integer identifier.
+- **`pali_word`**: A Pali lexical item rendered in Myanmar Unicode script.
+
+## Data Processing Methodology
+
+The dataset was constructed using the following steps:
+
+- **Lexical Extraction:** Isolating Pali headwords from raw dictionary HTML.
+- **Deduplication:** Removing repeated headwords appearing across multiple dictionary volumes.
+- **Script Normalization:** Fixing Myanmar-script artifacts, including erroneous leading tone marks (e.g., incorrect leading `့`).
+- **Alphabetical Sorting:** Ordering entries according to Myanmar/Pali lexicographic conventions.
+- **Index Stabilization:** Assigning persistent identifiers (`word_id`) to support future linked datasets.
+
+## Intended Use Cases
+
+- **Buddhist Digital Studies:** Lexical indexing and vocabulary analysis of Tipitaka texts.
+- **Natural Language Processing:** Tokenizer training, normalization, spell-checking, and lexicon-based language models.
+- **OCR Post-Processing:** Dictionary-based correction, validation, and normalization of OCR outputs from scanned Pali–Myanmar texts.
+- **Digital Humanities:** Construction of interoperable dictionaries and language tools.
