Contemporary Amharic Corpus: Automatically Morpho-Syntactically Tagged Amharic Corpus # Contemporary Amharic Corpus (CACO) This is the Contemporary Amharic Corpus (CACO) version 1.1. CACO is collected from various sources which are proofread or edited. The corpus contains about 24 million orthographic words. Since it is partly a web corpus, we made some automatic spelling error corrections. We have also modified the existing morphological analyzer, HornMorphoA version 3.1, to use it for automatic tagging. (HornMorphoA version 3.1 is available at: HornMorpho) ### DOI 10.24352/UB.OVGU-2018-144 ### Website dx.doi.org ### License All the documents in the corpus are documents which have been made publicly available in the Web.
