MELD: A multilingual ethnic dataset of Chakma, Garo, and Marma in Bengali script with English and standard Bengali translation.

There are thousands of ethnic groups in the world contributing to the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of people. However, in digital resources and research, the majority of these languages, including more than 30 ethnic languages spoken in Bangladesh remain severely underrepresented. There is little to no work addressing the preservation, translation, or computational processing of these languages, despite their unique linguistic structures and speaker population.
