### Dataset Summary

The Snow Mountain dataset contains the audio recordings (in .mp3 format) and the corresponding text of The Bible in 11 Indian languages. The recordings were done in a studio setting by native speakers. Each language has a single speaker in the dataset. Most of these languages are geographically concentrated in the Northern part of India around the state of Himachal Pradesh. Being related to Hindi they all use the Devanagari script for transcription. 

We have used this dataset for experiments in ASR tasks. But these could be used for other applications in speech domain, like speaker recognition, language identification or even as unlabelled corpus for pre-training.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

Atomatic speech recognition, Speaker recognition, Language identification

### Languages

Hindi, Haryanvi, Bilaspuri, Dogri, Bhadrawahi, Gaddi, Kangri, Kulvi, Mandeali, Kulvi Outer Seraji, Pahari Mahasui
