## Curation & Processing

- All clips re-segmented to remove silence and cross-talk
- Transcripts normalised to Unicode NFC; language tags added (`<hi-en>` for code-switched utterances)
- Duplicate and near-duplicate clips removed
- Consistent CSV schema applied across all sources before concatenation
- Audio stored as WAV, original sample rates preserved
