Gilaki (glk)
- Social Media: The original source of this content is Twitter, but Twitter typically doesn't support Gilaki as part of its language identifier due to gilaki is a low resource language. We obtained this content from a Telegram channel (https://t.me/gilaki_twitter) that re-posts Gilaki Twitter content. The admins of the channel are native Gilaki speakers, and after manual inspection, these tweets are selected. At present, there isn't a readily available mapping for Twitter IDs. The primary reason for reposting Twitter content on Telegram in Iran is the relative ease of access to Telegram compared to Twitter.

Ethical Considerations
1. Biases: The text corpus may reflect the perspectives, opinions, or demographics of its sources or creators. It is important for users to critically evaluate the text in context especially for news sources and social medias (e.g., sunnionline, twitter, talarbrahui, shafaq).
2. Representativeness: While we have aimed for diversity and inclusivity, the text corpus may not fully represent all native speakers. Users should be mindful of any potential underrepresentation.
3. Ethical Considerations: We acknowledge that the collection and use of text data can have ethical implications. We have strived to handle the data responsibly, but we encourage users to consider the broader ethical implications of their own research or applications.
