  We present an experimental dataset, Basic Dataset for Sorani Kurdish
Automatic Speech Recognition (BD-4SK-ASR), which we used in the first attempt
in developing an automatic speech recognition for Sorani Kurdish. The objective
of the project was to develop a system that automatically could recognize
simple sentences based on the vocabulary which is used in grades one to three
of the primary schools in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We used CMUSphinx as
our experimental environment. We developed a dataset to train the system. The
dataset is publicly available for non-commercial use under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
license.
