This is the biggest and most comprehensive Romanian - Aromanian parallel corpus. The Aromanian counterpart is automatically converted to [Cunia standard](https://farsharotu.org/on-the-standardization-of-the-aromanian-system-of-writing/).


More details about its collection and how it was used for the AroTranslate system can be found in our [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.17728).

    abstract = "We report the creation of the first high-quality corpus of Aromanian - an endangered Romance language spoken in the Balkans - and the equivalent sentence-aligned translations into Romanian, English, and French. The corpus is released publicly using several orthographic standards and consists in short stories collected in the {\textquoteleft}70s in Romania. Additionally, we provide an corpus-based analysis of Aromanian linguistic particularities and the overall demographic and political context which impacts the contemporary development of the language."
