Overview

The Cherokee-English Word Dataset is a comprehensive collection of 10,000 entries, each containing a word from the Cherokee language along with its English translation. This dataset is designed to facilitate linguistic research, aid in the development of machine translation models, and support educational initiatives aimed at preserving and promoting the Cherokee language.

Data Structure

Each entry in the dataset is structured as a JSON object with the following fields:

• —id: A unique identifier for each entry.
• —cherokee: The Cherokee word represented in the Cherokee syllabary.
