# UD_Zazaki-ZSD

Treebank card from UD release 2.18: metadata and texts come from `UD_Zazaki-ZSD/README.md`; size is counted by streaming the `.conllu` files and checked against the release `stats.xml`. Generated by `tools/treebanks build`; do not edit by hand. Papers: [Papers: UD_Zazaki-ZSD](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/treebanks/zza/zsd/papers/); seeds: `seeds/`; converter: `convert.md`.

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.

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.

## Summary

> A dependency treebank in Universal Dependencies (UD) format for Zazakî (Kirmanckî), based on transcribed spoken interviews recorded in situ in Dêrsim (Turk. Tunceli) for the forthcoming documentary "KUTENE – Last Dots of Dêrsim". It provides manually verified POS tags, morphological features, and dependency relations.

## Introduction

> This treebank contains manually annotated sentences of Zazakî (Kirmanckî), an Iranian language spoken in Eastern Anatolia (Turkey). The material is drawn from an interview with a female speaker recorded on location in Dêrsim for the documentary "KUTENE – Last Dots of Dêrsim" (producers/directors: Çiler Kiliç Kögel & Rojda Elu Orhan; forthcoming). The speech was transcribed, translated, and annotated by Mahîr Dogan.
> 
> Annotation follows UD v2.17 and adapts conventions for Zazakî’s profile: split-ergativity in past transitive clauses, overt case marking, ezafe constructions, postpositions and circumpositions, clitic/pronominal elements, and frequent multiword expressions typical of speech. Tokenization separates multiword tokens where needed; lemmas and features are assigned manually.
