The CSV file contains 4 columns:

1. Place name in Alsatian

4. Source(s): WikiAls (articles from the Alemannic Wikipedia), WikiFr (articles from the French Wikipedia), corpus (Wikipedia articles from the Alemannic Wikipedia and chronicles from an information magazine published by the Haut-Rhin department (southern Alsace) General Council). This field also indicates whether the same spelling can be found in other lexicons of place names for Alsatian: AlsaDico (Edmond Jung. L’alsadico : 22 000 mots et expressions français-alsacien. La Nuée bleue, Strasbourg, 2006.) and Elsàsser (Marc Hug. Toponymes d’Alsace. Online, http://elsasser.free.fr/ NomCommu/ecrantot.html, 2007.)

The dataset was produced in the context of the RESTAURE project, funded by the French ANR. The lexicon is also decribed in the following article: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01702656.
