UD_Chintang-CTNTB is a Universal Dependencies (UD) treebank for the Chintang language. The annotation converted from glosses from "A Grammar of Chintang A Tibeto-Burman Language of Nepal" by Robert Schikowski.

The UD_Chintang-CTNTB treebank treebank contains 2k sentences (a total of 15k words) from the Kiranti language Chintang, spoken in eastern Nepal. All data are included in the training set.

The sentences originate from the examples in the (currently unpublished) A Grammar of Chintang: A Tibeto-Burman Language of Nepal by Robert Schikowski. Each example was converted from interlinear glossed text into CoNLL-U format using a custom conversion script. The syntactic relations were subsequently manually annotated according to the Universal Dependencies (UD) framework.
