# Dhivehi Sentences Dataset

This repository contains a dataset of Dhivehi (Thaaana, Maldivian) sentences processed and normalized for natural language processing tasks.

***This is a small version of the [Dhivehi Sentences Dataset Extended](https://huggingface.co/datasets/alakxender/dhivehi-sentences-extended)***

## Dataset Description

The dataset combines text from multiple sources:

- Random News Articles

The sentences have been processed to:

- Split into individual sentences
- Normalize numbers into Dhivehi text form
- Normalize years into proper Dhivehi format
- Normalize time expressions
- Convert sentence endings to spoken form
- Standardize common suffixes and abbreviations

## Dataset Format

The dataset is split into train (80%) and test (20%) sets. Each row contains:

- sentence: The processed Dhivehi text
- length: Character length of the sentence

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("alakxender/dhivehi-sentences-normalized")

# Print the first 10 rows of the dataset
print(ds["train"][:10])
```
