LINGUA PATRIA — Open Subset v1.0

LINGUA PATRIA is a trilingually aligned parallel corpus covering African 
constitutional governance, anti-corruption, and patrimonial sovereignty. 
This Open Subset v1.0 contains 77 segments (~21,000 words per language) 
in English, French, and Portuguese, extracted from "The Patrimonial 
Revolution: Public Goods & Africa's Third Independence" (Armand Salouo, 
Kurukan Publishing, 2026).

This dataset is the open-data foundation for GOVBENCH AFRICA, a 
multilingual NLP evaluation benchmark assessing language model performance 
on African governance tasks in Twi/Akan, Wolof, and Lingala (v2.0, in 
development).

Note: This is the DPG-nominated artefact (Digital Public Goods Alliance). 
The full 80,000-word LINGUA PATRIA corpus (CC BY-NC 4.0) is maintained 
separately by Kurukan Publishing. This open subset is independently 
licensed under CC BY 4.0 and constitutes the complete, self-contained 
Digital Public Good.
