This dataset comprises 25 Hmong-Mien varieties, which were originally digitized from the source by Doug Cooper and later shared publicly on Wiktionary. We list the data in segmented form, adding also morpheme boundaries.
We have added a couple of custom commands that allow you to follow a specific workflow for computer-assisted language comparison. In order to do so, install the package and its dependencies, and then test the following commands:
$ cldfbench chenhmongmien.check_structure
$ cldfbench chenhmongmien.wf_select
$ cldfbench chenhmongmien.wf_partial
$ cldfbench chenhmongmien.wf_alignment
$ cldfbench chenhmongmien.wf_crosssemantic
$ cldfbench chenhmongmien.wf_correspondence
