which-dialect-vi

Vietnamese dictionary data for which-dialect, with senses tagged Northern, Central and Southern where Wiktionary tags them. Senses without a region tag are listed under all three regions (regionTagged: false).

You normally don't install this package: which-dialect loads its files on demand from jsDelivr.

Contents

• data/meta.json: regions, source, license, counts, and the list of files.
• data/words/<xx>.json: entries by Vietnamese headword, split by the first two letters without diacritics (không → kh).
• data/en/<xx>.json: English search terms → Vietnamese words.

About 35,000 entries; roughly 1,300 senses carry a region tag (Southern, Central or Northern). North Central Vietnamese counts as Central. Chinese-character (chữ Hán/chữ Nôm) entries and romanizations are left out.

Word frequencies

Each entry's frequency (and each search result's) is a Zipf score from wordfreq by Robyn Speer (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7199437), CC BY-SA 4.0. wordfreq's data comes from Google Books Ngrams (http://books.google.com/ngrams), the Leeds Internet Corpus (University of Leeds Centre for Translation Studies), Wikipedia, ParaCrawl, OPUS OpenSubtitles 2018 (data from the OpenSubtitles project, opensubtitles.org), SUBTLEX word lists by Marc Brysbaert et al. (SUBTLEX is freely available data: http://crr.ugent.be/programs-data/subtitle-frequencies), and word statistics from the Twitter streaming API. Only one score per word in this dictionary is included, not wordfreq's word lists.
