Introduction

The Bhojpuri LT Resources (BHLTR) project was initially initiated by me (Atul) during my PhD. BHLTR data contains monolingual, parallel (English-Bhojpuri), and POS annotated monolingual corpora. In this data, POS is annotated according to Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Part Of Speech (POS) tagset.
