Description: this xml file describes the Arabic phonetic constraints (rules) resulting from the analysis of the lexicons(Taj Alarous, Al ain, Lisan Al arab, Alwassit and almoassir ). These rules are to be applied to Arabic roots and are classified into a number of categories. Each category has a certain type of constraints as follow: The first category defines that the root must not consist of three identical letters. The second category defines that the root must not start with two repeating letters. The third category lists the letters that must not occur in the same root, regardless of their order. The fourth category lists the letters that may not be used together in a certain order in a root.

The PADT project might be summarized as an open-ended activity of the Center for Computational Linguistics, the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics, and the Institute of Comparative Linguistics, Charles University in Prague, resting in multi-level annotation of Arabic language resources in the light of the theory of Functional Generative Description (Sgall et al., 1986; Hajičová and Sgall, 2003).
The corpus contains recordings by the native speakers of the North Levantine Arabic (apc) acquired during 2020, 2021, and 2023 in Prague, Paris, Kabardia, and St. Petersburg. Altogether, there were 13 speakers (9 male and 4 female, aged 1x 15-20, 7x 20-30, 4x 30-40, and 1x 40-50).
The recordings contain both monologues and dialogues on the topics of everyday life (health, education, family life, sports, culture) as well as information on both host countries (living abroad) and country of origin (Syria traditions, education system, etc.). Both types are spontaneous, the participants were given only the general subject and talked on the topic or discussed it freely. The transcription and translation team consisted of students of Arabic at Charles University, with an additional quality check provided by the native speakers of the dialect.
The textual data is split between the (parallel) transcriptions (.apc) and translations (.eng), with one segment per line. The additional .yaml file provides mapping to the corresponding audio file (with the duration and offset in the "%S.%03d" format, i.e., seconds and milliseconds) and a unique speaker ID.
The audio data is shared in the 48kHz .wav format, with dialogues and monologues in separate folders. All of the recordings are mono, with a single channel. For dialogues, there is a separate file for each speaker, e.g., "Tar_13052022_Czechia-01.wav" and "Tar_13052022_Czechia-02.wav".
The data provided in this repository corresponds to the validation split of the dialectal Arabic to English shared task hosted at the 21st edition of the International Conference on Spoken Language Translation, i.e., IWSLT 2024.
