  ### Dataset Summary
12
 
13
+ Ainu is an endangered (nearly extinct) language spoken in Hokkaido, Japan. This dataset contains recordings of 38 (check?) traditional Ainu folktales by two Ainu speakers (Mrs. Kimi Kimura and Mrs. Ito Oda), along with their transcriptions (in Latin script), English translations, and underlying and surface gloss forms in English. (For transcriptions in Katakana and translation/gloss in Japanese, please see the original corpus webpage.) In total, there are over 8 hours (~7.7k sentences) of transcribed and glossed speech.

  ### Annotations

17
+ The glosses in this dataset are the original glosses from the Glossed Audio Corpus, with minor changes to fit the Generalized Glossing Format (e.g. multi-word translations of individual morphemes are now separated by underscores instead of periods). Uncertainty in interpretation by the original annotators is indicated with a question mark (?). Additional notes on the Latin transcriptions in the corpus can be found on the original corpus webpage (under the "Structure, Transcriptions, and Glosses" tab).

  ### Limitations
22
 
23
+ This dataset has a small number of speakers and a limited domain, and models trained on this dataset might not be suitable for general purpose applications. The audio data contain varying degrees of noise which makes this dataset a poor fit for training TTS models.
