About
This dataset presents Rakhine/Arakan Proverbs, a collection of wisdom in the Rakhine language, primarily spoken by the Rakhine people in the Rakhine State of Myanmar [1]. Rakhine is considered a low-resource language, which limits research and applications [1]. The dataset aims to support further research and studies in the Rakhine language [1]. It is a valuable resource for promoting education and academic studies within the MyanmarGPT-Movement, an AI initiative in Myanmar [1]. The proverbs were summarised and extracted from the book "ဥပမာစုံ၊ ရခိုင်စကားပုံ။" by "အရှင်စက္ကိန္ဒ, အရှင်ဝါသဝ", originally published in August 1996 [1]. The dataset includes over 300 proverbs [2].
