11
+ Bengali is a low resource language in natural language processing (NLP), with dialects like Sylheti, Chittagong, and Barisal
12
+ being even more underrepresented. To address this, ONUBAD introduced a parallel corpus translating these dialects into
13
+ Standard Bangla and English using expert translators, providing 1,540 words, 130 clauses, and 980 sentences per dialect.
14
+ We focused on the Sylheti-English pair and adapted the dataset for LLM-based machine translation (MT) evaluation.
15
+ We extracted the 980 Sylheti-English sentence pairs, corrected inconsistencies, and added 520 new sentence pairs,
16
+ all translated by native speakers and cross-validated for accuracy, resulting in 1,500 high-quality pairs. To simulate a real-world
17
+ MT evaluation scenario, we generated translations using the NLLB-200 model, recognized for its multilingual capabilities.
18
+ Two native Sylheti speakers evaluated the outputs using Direct Assessment (DA) guidelines, scoring based on semantic equivalence and fluency.
19
+ Scores were averaged and z normalized to reduce inter annotator variability and outliers.

+ Our study that uses this dataset got accepted in CLNLP 2025. The [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.12273) and [code](https://github.com/180041123-Atiq/MTEonLowResourceLanguage/tree/main) is attached for any technical reference.
