A random sample from Hindi (hin) Test dataset.
{
    "unique_identifier": "hin1", 
    "native sentence": "",
    "romanized sentence": "",
    "language": "Hindi", 
    "script": "Devanagari", 
    "source": "Dakshina",
}
```

### Data Fields

- `unique_identifier` (string): 3-letter language code followed by a unique number in Test set.
- `native sentence` (string): A sentence in Indic language.
