### Paper

Title: Latxa: An Open Language Model and Evaluation Suite for Basque

Abstract: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.20266

EusProficiency comprises 5,169 exercises on different topics from past EGA exams, the official C1-level certificate of proficiency in Basque. We collected the atarikoa exercises from EGA exams through the years 1998 to 2008. Atarikoa is the first qualifying test of EGA, which measures different aspects of language competency, such as reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and writing. Each test generally has 85 multiple-choice questions, with 4 choices and a single correct answer.
