# Introduction

UD Karelian-KKPP is a manually annotated new corpus of Karelian made in
Universal dependencies annotation scheme. The data is collected from
[VepKar corpora](http://dictorpus.krc.karelia.ru/en/corpus/text) and consists of
mostly modern news texts but also some stories and educational texts. We have
based many decisions in the dependency annotations on pre-existing
Finnish treebanks. The morphological annotations and grammar are based on the
refered books (Zaikov, Ahtia) and the [Karelian
dictionary](http://kaino.kotus.fi/cgi-bin/kks/karjala.cgi), with necessary
orthographical modernisations.

# Acknowledgments

Finnish treebank developers for a good reference treebank and also [SETS
dep search](http://bionlp-www.utu.fi/dep_search/) which has been very useful in
finding equivalent examples from Finnish treebanks.
