** Notes

This is based on data harvested from th 2024-02-10 sentences_detailed.csv file.

Note that this is not actually the number of active usernames from each year.

The usernames counted are the ones who currently "own" sentences added in those years, not really the contributors, since "orphan" sentences can be adopted. This means that the year the Tanaka Corpus sentences were imported shows a lot more contributors than there actually were. Many of those who have adopted these sentences joined the project much later.

You've raised a very good question. By the way, the Berber language as defined in Tatoeba is a catch-all, because 80% of its phrases are Kabyle phrases but with a mixture of other Berber words. This mixture is not based on any linguistic reality, only ideology. The "Kabyle Berberists" who created this ideology think that by imposing their Kabyle language and mixing it with 20% of other languages, they will be able to unite all Berbers.

By the way, everything you can find in the way of novels, poetry, theatre, websites, music... It's 70% Kabyle. Because the Kabyle language has been transcribed into Latin since the 18th century. And there are 12 million Kabyles. Even the flag that Tatoeba's admins have imposed on the Kabyle language is not the right one, but rather the flag of all Berbers. The Kabyle flag has been removed from Tatoeba, since that. So the ideology feeds on another ideology. But the Kabyle language will progress, that's for sure. You only have to look at the digital fields in which the Kabyle language is used for localisation, learning and so on.

There are several sites devoted to the Kabyle language, starting with Wikipedia.

🍎 Tatoeba.org Native Speakers with Native Language Sentences

http://tatoeba.ueuo.com/stats-2024-01-27.html

Find native speakers of languages you are studying and get links to their native language sentences.

The link above is to a page that shows only the 3,999 contibutors with 20 or more native-speaker sentences.

These members have contributed 99.7% of the native-speaker sentences.

If you want to see all such contributors, try the following link.

There is a lot of data, so the page will be slower to load, and may possibly not work on some devices.

Hello,
I would like to offer translations in 2 cousin languages i am studying, of which i seem to be the only speaker or student on Tatoeba (L2) and whose way of constructing sentences is so different from other language corpuses I've contributed to on Tatoeba that I'm not sure how to proceed.
In Muscogee and in Hitchiti, a sentence like "Tom had an idea" isn't a sentence. Sentences start and end with entire "scenes" like in a movie. In a paragraph-length text, you don't have many sentences back to back, each conjugated for person and tense and such. They are meant to start and end with the "scene" you are you describing, composed of many short thoughts stitched together, with barely conjugated verbs throughout a typically very long sentence, and fully conjugated verbs only appear at the very end of the sentence where the "scene" you're narrating finally concludes a paragraph or two later. So when I get a sentence like "Tom had a great idea", that is not a whole scene and so It doesn't actually feel right to conjugate it as, let's say "Tom-ke vkerrickv herēmahēn hayvtēs." (tom mad a very good idea, conjugated to be very long ago). But, if conjugate it as the "clause/fragment" that Muscogee would treat it as, it wouldn't be a complete sentence, and so it wouldn't really include the period at the end of the sentence, which are always at the end of Tatoeba sentences as a matter of policy.

So I guess, what I'm asking is, what should I do? Should I conjugate these short sentences as all occurring in the recent past and constituting a full story, against the language's actual syntax, or should I write them as the clauses that the language would make them into being in a fuller-fledged sentence, but not actually provide "sentence-bearing complete sentences" as Tatoeba makes all of its entries?

Thankful for the Tatoeba project. 🙏

old style was way better , i mean vertically
