YoruMed
YoruMed is the first structured Yoruba medical terminology dataset comprising 1,000 English medical terms, their English definitions, and corresponding Yoruba translations. Each entry is annotated with translation strategy (MEANING-BASED or FORM-BASED), linguistic strategy (MORPHOLOGICAL, EXISTING, or LOANWORD), and me...

The 1,000 medical terms were compiled from established biomedical reference sources including Chabner's The Language of Medicine (7th ed., 2004), Heather et al.'s Dictionary of Medical Terminology (4th ed., 2005), and Harper's Online Etymology Dictionary (2011). Yoruba translations were produced by a linguist holding a...
The dataset was compiled and translated by a single linguist who is a native speaker of the Osun dialect of Yoruba. Some translations may reflect Osun dialect intuitions and may not be equally natural across all Yoruba-speaking communities. The dataset has some concentration in Infectious Disease terminology (12.8%) re...
YoruMed has the following limitations: (1) Single translator — all translations were produced by one linguist and validated by one supervisor; community-scale validation has not been conducted. (2) Dialect variation — the Osun dialect of Yoruba was the primary linguistic reference; translations may not be equally natur...
YoruMed is intended for the following NLP research use cases: (1) Medical machine translation evaluation — assessing whether multilingual models correctly translate English medical terminology into Yoruba. (2) Biomedical named entity recognition — serving as a reference lexicon for Yoruba biomedical NER systems. (3) Cr...
Positive social impacts: YoruMed advances language equity by providing the first structured Yoruba medical terminology resource, enabling AI systems to better serve Yoruba-speaking populations in healthcare contexts. It supports the preservation and digital representation of Yoruba, one of Africa's largest languages, i...
