Moroccan Darija Code-Switched Corpus (Sentence-level TSV)

Dataset Summary

This dataset contains sentence/post-level code-switched Moroccan Darija text with a single label per text unit. It is intended to support NLP research on Moroccan Darija (Darija), an under-resourced Arabic variety, and on sentence-level code-switching / language identification in Moroccan online text.

Languages

The corpus may contain Moroccan Darija (often ary) and code-switching with:

• Modern Standard Arabic (ar)
• French (fr)
• English (en)
• Berber (tmz)

Dataset Structure

Data Format

The dataset is provided as TSV (tab-separated) files with a header row and three columns:

• sentence_id (string/int): Unique identifier for the text unit
• text (string): Raw code-switched text (may contain Arabic + Latin scripts)
• label (string): Sentence-level label (one label per row)
