Gilaki (glk)
- Social Media: The original source of this content is Twitter, but Twitter typically doesn't support Gilaki as part of its language identifier due to gilaki is a low resource language. We obtained this content from a Telegram channel (https://t.me/gilaki_twitter) that re-posts Gilaki Twitter content. The admins of the channel are native Gilaki speakers, and after manual inspection, these tweets are selected. At present, there isn't a readily available mapping for Twitter IDs. The primary reason for reposting Twitter content on Telegram in Iran is the relative ease of access to Telegram compared to Twitter.
