Summary
The UD Bambara treebank is a section of the Corpus Référence du Bambara annotated natively with Universal Dependencies.
Introduction
Bambara (also known as Bamana) is the most widely-spoken language of the Manding language group (Niger-Congo > Mande > Western Mande). It is spoken mainly in Mali by 13-14 million people; of these, around four million are L1 speakers. Development of the Bambara Reference Corpus was started in April 2012 (Vydrin 2013, Maslinsky 2014). The corpus includes a non-disambiguated sub-corpus and a disambiguated one. At present, the whole corpus contains about nine million tokens. The corpus was annotated using UD Annotatrix annotation tool (Tyers, Sheyanova, Washington 2018).
Documentation for the treebank is available on the UD web site.
