# Dataset Card for Bornholmsk 

## Dataset Description

<!-- START-SHORT DESCRIPTION -->
The Bornholmsk Ordbog Dictionary Project
<!-- END-SHORT DESCRIPTION -->

Fictional texts of various kinds written in Bornholmsk, the dialect spoken on the Danish island of Bornholm (The language code for Bornholmsk under IETF BCP-47 is da-bornholm), have been digitized (OCR’ed and proofread) by volunteers working within the recently resumed Bornholmsk Ordbog dictionary project (Kjeldsen, 2019). Most of the material included is written by Otto J. Lund in the period 1930-48 (novels, short stories, and poems). The Bornholmsk subcorpus, which in its present state amounts to circa 400 K words, also includes folk stories published by J. P. Kuhre in 1938, and by K. M. Kofoed in 1935, fictional letters by various authors published in the 1930s, as well as poems by Alfred Jensen published in 1948 and various other texts from the same period. The non-standardized orthography varies considerably from source to source. The Bornholmsk part of the Danish Gigaword is a significantly extended dataset, well beyond that studied in earlier NLP work on the dialect [(Derczynski and Kjeldsen, 2019)](https://aclanthology.org/W19-6138/).
