# Taiwanese Minnan Example Sentences
The dataset consists of a collection of example sentences designed to aid in recognizing Taiwanese Minnan (Taiwanese Hokkien) for automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. This dataset is sourced from the Ministry of Education in Taiwan and aims to provide valuable linguistic resources for researchers and developers working on speech recognition systems.

Dataset Features

- Source: Ministry of Education, Taiwan (Sutian Resource Center)
