+# Dataset Card for Kazakh Traditional Audio Archive
+
+## Dataset Summary
+
+The **Kazakh Traditional Audio Archive** is a curated open dataset containing rare and historical audio recordings from Kazakh culture. The dataset includes traditional musical forms such as *kui*, *zhyr/terme*, folk and composed songs, lullabies, retro music, and audio fairy tales.
+
+These audio files are designed for use in machine learning tasks including ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition), TTS (Text-to-Speech), music classification, and ethnomusicological research.
+
+## Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+### Supported Tasks:
+- `audio-classification`: Classifying audio by genre or type (e.g., kui, zhyr, retro)
+- `automatic-speech-recognition`: Recognizing lyrics or speech in Kazakh
+- `text-to-speech`: Synthesizing culturally appropriate TTS models
+- `audio-generation` and `audio-captioning` (experimental)
+
+## Languages
+The primary language of the dataset is **Kazakh** (`kk`).
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Fields
+Each entry in the dataset has the following metadata:
+
+- `file`: Relative path to audio file
+- `title`: Name of the piece
+- `type`: One of `kui`, `zhyr_terme`, `an_kompozitor`, `ertegi`, `besik`, `retro`
+- `language`: Always `"kk"` (Kazakh)
+- `duration`: Duration of the audio in seconds
+
+### Example:
+```json
+{
+  "file": "data/kui/kui_001.wav",
+  "title": "Saryzhailau",
+  "type": "kui",
+  "language": "kk",
+  "duration": 125.4
+}
+```
+
+### Data Splits
+The dataset has a single `train` split (default for cultural datasets).
+
