📝 myX-myanmar-orthography-corpus: Myanmar Orthography Error Correction Dataset

The myX-Myanmar-Orthography-Corpus is an open-source initiative dedicated to improving the accuracy of Myanmar (Burmese) language digital processing. This project focuses specifically on Orthographic Accuracy (သတ်ပုံ), addressing common spelling errors, phonetic confusions, and keyboard typos.

This project focuses specifically on orthographic errors such as phonetic confusions, visual similarities, and keyboard typos rather than grammatical or syntactic changes. It aims to provide a high-quality "Noisy-to-Clean" parallel corpus for training and benchmarking NLP models.

🚧 Status: Work in Progress (Ongoing)

This dataset is currently a work-in-progress. We are actively expanding the corpus to cover a wider range of common Burmese spelling mistakes.

• —Current Milestone: 500+ high-quality pairs for the "Phet vs. Bet" (ဖက် နှင့် ဘက်) phonetic confusion have been curated and uploaded.
• —Future Updates: We plan to integrate more confusion pairs (e.g., မီ vs မှီ, ကျ vs ကြ) and common digital typing errors.

Dataset Structure

The data is provided in CSV format and follows a structured parallel schema:
