+# Dataset Card for DAH (DAtaset Hassaniya)
+
+**DAH** is a bilingual dataset created to support translation between **Hassaniya dialect** and **English**, with both **Arabic script** and **Arabizi (Latin-transliterated)** Hassaniya included.  
+
+---
+
+## Dataset Details
+
+- **Name:** dah  
+- **Languages:** Hassaniya Arabic (in both Arabic and Latin forms), English  
+- **Creators:**  
+  - Ahlam Abdelkader  
+  - Emani Babe  
+  - Oumoukelthoum Sidenna  
+- **Adapted from:** [Tatoeba Project](https://tatoeba.org) parallel sentences  
+- **Reviewed by:** Founders of the Hassan-IA community
+
+---
+
+
+## Standardization
+
+To ensure consistent batches and model outputs, a **standard mapping** was agreed upon for **Hassaniya → Latin transliteration**.  
+The Latin representation follows the conventions widely used in Arabizi:
+
+| Arabic Letter | Latin Equivalent |
+|:--|:--|
+| ح | 7 |
+| خ | 5 |
+| ذ | 4 |
+| ط | 6 |
+| ظ | 8 |
+| ق | 9 |
+| ع | 3 |
+| غ | gh |
+| ض | dh |
+
+All sentences were normalized according to these rules and reviewed by at least one additional team member for consistency.
+
+> **Note:**  
+> In some examples, both **“ou”** and **“u”** are used interchangeably to reflect the Arabic **و** sound.  
+> This variation follows current informal writing conventions in online Hassaniya communication — particularly among **younger speakers** and **social media users**, where both spellings are common and accepted.
