["Whoever handles this just needs to: \r\n\r\n- [ ] fork the HuggingFace Datasets repo\r\n- [ ] update the [existing dataset script](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/openslr/openslr.py) to add SLR25. Lots of copypasting from other sections of the script should make that easy. \r\nAmharic URL: https://www.openslr.org/resources/25/data_readspeech_am.tar.bz2. \r\nSwahili URL: https://www.openslr.org/resources/25/data_broadcastnews_sw.tar.bz2, \r\nWolof URL: https://www.openslr.org/resources/25/data_readspeech_wo.tar.bz2\r\n- [ ] update the [data card](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/openslr/README.md) to include information about SLR25. There's lots of other examples to draw from. \r\n- [ ] add the appropriate language tags to the data card as well. https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-language-tags, or just use `sw`, `am`, and `wo` for consistency. \r\n- [ ] make a pull request to merge your changes back into HuggingFace's repo"
 '... also the example in "use in datasets library" should be updated. It currently says \r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4109253/135115980-8583a44a-cae6-4121-b699-00667020849f.png)\r\nBut you actually have to specify a subset, e.g. \r\n```python\r\ndataset = load_dataset("openslr", "SLR32")\r\n```'

## Adding a Dataset
- **Name:** *SLR25*
- **Description:** *Subset 25 from OpenSLR. Other subsets have been added to https://huggingface.co/datasets/openslr, 25 covers Amharic, Swahili and Wolof data*
- **Paper:** *https://www.openslr.org/25/ has citations for each of the three subsubsets. *
- **Data:** *Currently the three links to the .tar.bz2 files can be found a thttps://www.openslr.org/25/*
- **Motivation:** *Increase ASR data for underrepresented African languages. Also, other subsets of OpenSLR speech recognition have been uploaded, so this would be easy.*


https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/openslr/openslr.py already has been created for various other OpenSLR subsets, this should be relatively straightforward to do.
