Although this dataset aims to serve as a translation resource, it may not always provide direct word-for-word translations from English to Hmar. In some cases, the dataset includes descriptions or contextual interpretations of Hmar words, reflecting the nuances and cultural significance of the language.

|

The Hmar alphabet includes the letter "ṭ" (with a dot below), but in this dataset, such words may be represented using "tr" instead. This format follows the conventions used in the **Pherzawl Diksawnari** dictionary by Dr. John H. Pulamte, which is the current source for this dataset.
|

|

+
You can find these words in the `Pherzawl-Diksawnari` folder. This note is provided to avoid confusion, as future dictionaries integrated into this project may use the letter "t with a dot" (ṭ) instead of "tr," and this distinction should be kept in mind.
