Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka (Particularly the bordering districts
of Belgaum, Bidar, Gulbarga, and Uttara Kannada), union-territories of Daman and
Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. LDC-IL Marathi Text Corpus developed
according to various factors such as quality of the text, representativeness,
retrievable format, size of corpus, authenticity, etc. For
collecting text corpus LDC-IL adopts a standard category list of various
domains and a prior set of criteria. The corpus of Marathi text can be broadly
classified as literary and non- literary texts. A huge amount of literary texts
are available in Marathi but scientific texts are less thus LDC-IL attempts to
develop balanced text corpora of Marathi. Data has been collected from books,
magazines, and newspapers and it is verified to true to the original texts than
warehoused.
