  # Dataset Card for Basic Words

- This dataset contains a collection of basic words in English and Hmar, organized into different categories such as "namesofheavenlybodies" and "daysoftheweek." It is personally created by Donal Muolhoi to supplement or complement other datasets for the Hmar language. The dataset is part of the **Bungpui Project**, which focuses on preserving and promoting the languages and cultures of Northeast India, specifically the languages of the indigenous communities of the region. More information about the project can be found on [Donal Muolhoi's project page](https://dmuolhoi.wordpress.com).

  ### Hmar Language
10
  Hmar is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the Hmar people, primarily in the northeastern regions of India, including the states of Mizoram, Assam, and Manipur. It belongs to the Zo subgroup of the Kuki-Chin-Naga languages and shares close ties with languages like Mizo and Kuki. While the language is predominantly written in the Latin alphabet, it also has its own script. Despite its significance within its community, Hmar does not have a coherent Glottocode, which reflects the complexities of its linguistic history and the challenges of accurately categorizing it in global linguistic databases.

- The Bungpui Project aims to document and preserve the Hmar language, its dialects, and cultural expressions, with a focus on supporting language revitalization, education, and cultural heritage. The project's goal is to provide resources to ensure that Hmar, while not classified as endangered yet, remains a vital part of the region’s linguistic diversity.
