![image/png](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/628f7a71dd993507cfcbe587/jUkvJpetCeyT9AiMV15Eh.png)

🇱🇧 This is the  North Levantine Arabic Portion of The [FineWeb2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2#additional-information) Dataset.

🇸🇩 The North Levantine Arabic, represented by the ISO 639-3 code **apc**, is a member of the Afro-Asiatic language family and utilizes the Arabic script. 

🇯🇴 Known within subsets as **apc_Arab**, this language boasts an extensive corpus of over ** 221K rows**.


## Purpose of This Repository

This repository provides easy access to the **Arabic portion -  North Levantine** of the extensive **FineWeb2** dataset. My primary goal is to make this valuable data more accessible and impactful for researchers, developers, and anyone working on **Arabic** natural language processing (NLP) projects.

By focusing on Arabic, I aim to:

- **Simplify Access**: Provide a direct and streamlined way to download the Arabic portion of the dataset without navigating through the larger collection.  
- **Promote Research**: Enable more efficient use of  Arabic text data for NLP, LLMs, and linguistic research.  
- **Empower the Community**: Support Arabic language processing and contribute to the growth of multilingual NLP capabilities.  
- **Encourage Collaboration**: Foster an environment where researchers and developers can build impactful applications using Arabic data.
