Data Corpus and Stop Word List for Low-Resource Indo-Aryan Language—Awadhi

All Natural Language Processing (NLP) activities are impossible without the data corpus. We can get the data corpus in two ways either we can download it from the Internet or we can develop our own corpus. There are five stages for corpus development such as data collection, tokenization, stop word removal, linguistic annotation, and corpus encoding. There are various problems/challenges with the Low-Resource Language (LRL) such as Limited availability of linguistic resources, lack of Annotated Corpora, limited research and Development Efforts, Insufficient Language Technology Tools, and Endangered or Indigenous languages. Data corpus and stop word list are not available because Awadhi is LRL. This paper shows the corpus development stages and validates the stop word list. Once the Awadhi data corpus and Awadhi stop word list are ready, other researchers can use them for their research work.
