Common Voice Spontaneous Speech 2.0 - Betawi

Betawi — Betawi (bew)

This datasheet is for version 2.0 of the the Mozilla Common Voice Spontaneous Speech dataset for Betawi (bew). The dataset contains 1337 clips representing 12 hours of recorded speech (12 hours validated) from 21 speakers.

Language

Betawi language originally belongs to Austronesian language with a full name of Melayu-Betawi. This language is considered as one of Malay dialects, but historically it grew together with other major languages, such as Arabic, Hokkien, Sundanese, Javanese, and Malay in Sumatra - a tiny portion with Portuguese and Dutch. The language vitality status is Endangered according to https://www.ethnologue.com/language/bew/. At the moment, Indonesian standard and English in general influence the native speakers, allowing code switching and code mixing happens in a spontaneous speech. The specific variation of this dataset is Betawi Ora or Betawi Pinggiran (Peripheral Betawi), taken from several locations of Bekasi District/City, West Java Province, Indonesia. This variation is unique in terms of geo-politics: language is spoken only in the community, but it is not taught at school. Instead, the community is taught Sundanese language, which is dominated in West Java Province in general.

Recommended post-processing

(1) Observe the non-linguistic aspects, such as filler, (2) Make sure your machine learning does not differ the suprasegmental aspect, like intonation which does not change the word and its meaning.
