## Annotation layers

| Layer | Origin |
| --- | --- |
| Lemmas | manual native |
| UPOS | manual native |
| XPOS | not available |
| Features | manual native |
| Relations | manual native |

UD scale: *manual native* — annotated by hand directly in UD; *converted from manual* — converted from manual annotation in another scheme; *converted with corrections* — converted and partly corrected by hand; *automatic with corrections* — automatic, with partial manual corrections; *automatic* — automatic; *not available* — the layer is absent.

## Size

| Split | Sentences | Tokens | Words | Multiword tokens | Empty nodes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| test | 200 | 5 421 | 5 467 | 45 | 0 |
| **total** | 200 | 5 421 | 5 467 | 45 | 0 |

Tokens are surface tokens (Spanish `vámonos` is one), words are syntactic words (`vamos` + `nos`); multiword tokens are those split into several words; empty nodes are the `N.M` nodes of the enhanced graph. Splits train, dev are absent from the release.

## Summary

> The Pashto-Sikaram treebank is a native UD treebank with manually annotated texts from various sources.

## Introduction

> The treebank contains manual annotations of 200 sentences created natively in UD. This includes:
> 
> - 20 [Cairo CICLing](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies/cairo) sentences with interesting syntactic constructions translated from English
> - 180 original Pashto sentences from the book "Pashto and the Need for Translation" (Salih Mohammad Salih) In the future, the treebank will be populated with more sentences from the book and hopefully also news articles.
> 
> Apart from the manual native annotation of lemmas, universal Part-of-Speech tags, grammatical features and dependency relations, the Pashto-Sikaram treebank contains transliteration of forms and lemmas into Latin alphabet and English translation and glosses.
