The Bhojpuri UD Treebank (BHTB) is a part of the Universal Dependency treebank project.

The Bhojpuri UD Treebank (BHTB) v2.6 consists of 6,664 tokens(357 sentences). This Treebank is a part of the Universal Dependency treebank project. Initially, it was initiated by me (Atul) at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi during the doctoral research work. BHTB data contains syntactic annotation according to dependency-constituency schema, as well as morphological tags and lemmas. In this data, XPOS is annotated according to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Part Of Speech (POS) tagset.

Preparation of this treebank was supported by LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ (grant no. LM2018051) and Khresmoi (grants no. FP7-ICT-2010-6-257528 and MŠMT 7E11042). ÚFAL, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague.
