Saraiki Assistant Chat SFT Dataset

Question-answering and conversational data for supervised fine-tuning of Saraiki language assistants.

About Saraiki

Saraiki (سرائیکی) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in Pakistan, particularly across southern Punjab and neighboring regions. It has a rich linguistic, literary, and cultural heritage, with its own vocabulary, grammatical structures, and regional varieties.

Despite its significant speaker community, Saraiki remains a low-resource language in Natural Language Processing (NLP), with relatively limited digital datasets, language models, and computational resources compared with widely supported languages.

About This Dataset

The Saraiki Assistant Chat SFT Dataset is a curated question-answering and conversational dataset containing user queries and assistant responses in strict Jataki Saraiki.

The dataset is designed specifically for Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) of language models to improve their ability to understand Saraiki user instructions, answer questions, maintain conversational context, and generate natural Saraiki responses.

It can be used to develop Saraiki conversational assistants, instruction-following language models, question-answering systems, and other Saraiki language applications.

Intended Uses

This dataset can support:

  • Saraiki question answering
  • Saraiki conversational assistants
  • Chat-based language models
  • Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)
  • Instruction tuning
  • Saraiki LLM training and fine-tuning
  • Instruction following
  • Conversational AI
  • Dialogue generation
  • Response generation
  • Low-resource language model development
  • Saraiki NLP research
  • Saraiki language technology
  • Academic and educational projects

Why This Dataset Matters

Instruction-following and conversational datasets are important for adapting language models to specific languages and improving their ability to respond naturally to user queries.

For low-resource languages such as Saraiki, there is a limited availability of high-quality question-answering, dialogue, and instruction-tuning resources.

This dataset aims to contribute to the development of Saraiki conversational AI and language models by providing supervised examples that can help models learn Saraiki question understanding, instruction following, and response generation.

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains conversational question-answering examples consisting of user inputs and corresponding assistant responses.

Each example may contain:

  • User: A Saraiki question, instruction, or conversational message.
  • Assistant: A corresponding Saraiki response.

The examples can be formatted for common supervised fine-tuning and chat-training workflows.

A typical conversational example follows the structure:

User: [Saraiki question or instruction]

Assistant: [Saraiki response]

Why This Dataset Matters

Question answering and instruction following are important capabilities for developing conversational and helpful language models. For low-resource languages such as Saraiki, the availability of high-quality question-answering and supervised fine-tuning datasets remains limited.

This dataset aims to contribute to the development of Saraiki NLP and language technologies by providing question-answering and conversational data for supervised fine-tuning, model training, evaluation, and downstream language-processing applications.

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains Saraiki user queries paired with corresponding assistant responses.

Each example consists of:

  • User: A Saraiki question, instruction, or conversational message.
  • Assistant: The corresponding Saraiki response.

The dataset can be used for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of conversational language models, instruction-following models, and other NLP architectures.
