Overview

darija-dictionary

Having advanced IT solutions that are well adapted to the Moroccan context passes inevitably through understanding Moroccan dialect. Hence, darija (Moroccan dialect) should be an active player in the domain of Natural Language Processing (NLP).

However, it turns out that step 0 in any serious engagement with darija in NLP will consist of translating its vocabulary to the widely used and most documented language in this field, namely English.

This open source project aims to be a reference in addressing this issue. We hope for the contribution of the Moroccan IT community in order to build up the largest dataset of darija-english vocabulary which will serve as a pedestal for any future application of NLP to benefit Moroccan people.

Guidelines / Recommendations

3ndk ح dir ح xD (shout-out to this guy 😆 ), often try to use:

darija	3	7	9	8	2 - 'a' - 'i'	5 - 'kh'
arabic	ع	ح	ق	ه	همزة	خ

Try to use capitalization to differentiate between the following letters:

t	T	s	S	d	D
ت	ط	س	ص	د	ض

Arabic characters with two-letters Latin equivalent:

Arabic alphabet	ش	غ	خ
Latin alphabet	ch	gh	kh

Double characters to refer to the emphasis or "الشدة":

darija	7mam	7mmam
english	pigeons	bathroom

We usually don't add "e" in the end of darija words : louz instead of louze
We usually don't use "Z" or "th" for ظ ، ذ ، ث , because we generally don't use these letters in darija (except in northern Morocco, but for the sake of simplicity, we are focusing primarily on standard darija)
We do NOT use apostrophes. In fact, since we are working on csv files, apostrophes will break off words
We use spaces as word delimiters, not _ nor - : thank you instead of thank_you
Respect the number of columns in every row you add, you can use empty quotation marks "" in case you don't have extra variations
In every row, always start with the most used form (in your opinion of course) of the word in question
For future use of this dataset to train deep neural networks, try to reserve each row to similar variations of the same word. For instance, "sou9" and "marchi" both translate to "market", yet it's better to separate them into two different rows:

"sou9","souk","souq","market"

"marchi","","","market"

verbs.csv: The darija translation is reserved to the past tense of the third pronoun "he", whereas the other pronouns and tenses are handled in separate files. The English translation present the basic form (or root) of the English verb.

"ghnna","ghenna","ghanna","","","","sing"

masculine_feminine_plural.csv: If it does exist, feminine-plural translation column is for nouns. Regarding adjectives feminine-plural = feminine.

Hosting the dataset on DataStack?
Hello!

I enjoy seeing community data projects like this. As a former student of Cantonese (a dialect of Chinese spoken in HongKong), I know what it's like when the language you're interested in has no dictionary. At one point, I tried to create one myself, but gave up after 500 words. It's too much effort to do it alone.

The issue today is, that working together on these things is very technical. I'm sure your contributors here are familiar with Github and have no problem helping out, but it would be great if anyone with just the knowledge of English and Darija could help out, without technical skills.

For this reason I am building DataStack. It's a collaboration platform for table data, and works similarly to Github, but much more easy to use for data. No tools or technical knowledge needed.

To show you what it looks like, I've uploaded two files from your dataset there:

https://datastack.net/boukeversteegh/darija-open-dataset-demo/

If you're interested, please have a look. Does this solution suit your needs? What is still missing in your opinion?

How to know if a word or a sentence is already added

I want to start contributing to DODA and been exploring the repo, and I am wondering how you do identify if a sentence or a word is already added to the dataset.

Some additions to colors

8 stands for Ghayn (غين) as there's no need to spell H in numerics cause it sounds the same, by tradition people tend to spell GH as 8 to avoid typing two characters

First set of new words

Hello,

I have added new words to the dataset. That's just a first set. I will add more in the next weeks. (I'll try to do some scrapping stuff to make it easier to get more of Darija's words).

Thanks for the great work and initiative.
