# PashtoNanoChat

High‑quality Pashto conversational dataset designed for chatbot training, dialogue modeling, and Pashto LLM alignment.  
This dataset contains structured Pashto chat pairs in OpenAI/Ministral message format.

## Dataset Summary

```json
{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "..."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "..."}
  ]
}
```

The dataset is suitable for:

- Pashto chatbots  
- Instruction‑tuned LLMs  
- Dialogue agents  
- Cultural alignment

## Data Format

Each entry contains:

| Field     | Description              |
|----------|--------------------------|
| messages | List of chat turns       |
| role     | `"user"` or `"assistant"`|

{
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "سلام، څنګه یې؟"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "زه ښه یم، مننه! څنګه مرسته درسره وکړم؟"}
