Wiktionary Data on Hugging Face Datasets

[wiktionary-data]() is a sub-data extraction of the [English Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org) that currently
supports the following languages:

- __Deutsch__ - German
- __Latinum__ - Latin
- __Ἑλληνική__ - Ancient Greek
- __한국어__ - Korean
- __𐎠𐎼𐎹__ - [Old Persian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Persian_cuneiform)
- __𒀝𒅗𒁺𒌑(𒌝)__ - [Akkadian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_language)
- __संस्कृतम्__ - Sanskrit, or Classical Sanskrit

[wiktionary-data]() was originally a sub-module of [wilhelm-graphdb](https://github.com/QubitPi/wilhelm-graphdb). While
the dataset it's getting bigger, I noticed a wave of more exciting potentials this dataset can bring about that
stretches beyond the scope of the containing project. Therefore I decided to promote it to a dedicated module; and here
comes this repo.

The Wiktionary language data is available on 🤗 [Hugging Face Datasets][Hugging Face dataset URL].

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("QubitPi/wiktionary-data", split="German")
```

There are __two__ data subsets:

1. __Languages__ subset that contains the sub-data extraction of the following splits:

   - `German`
   - `Latin`
   - `AncientGreek`
   - `Korean`
   - `OldPersian`
   - `Akkadian`
   - `Sanskrit`

2. __Graph__ subset that is useful for constructing knowledge graphs:

   - `AllLanguage`: all the languages in a giant graph

   The _Graph_ data ontology is the following:

   <div align="center">
       <img src="ontology.png" size="50%" alt="Error loading ontology.png"/>
   </div>

> [!TIP]

> Two words are structurally similar if and only if the two shares the same\

Development
-----------

Although [the original Wiktionary dump](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/) is available, parsing it from scratch involves
rather complicated process. We would probably do it in the future. At present, however, we would simply take the awesome
works by [tatuylonen](https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract) which has already processed it and presented it in
[in JSON format](https://kaikki.org/dictionary/rawdata.html). wiktionary-data takes the
__raw Wiktextract data (JSONL, one object per line)__ option.
