abstract="In recent studies, it has been demonstrated that incorporating diverse training datasets enhances the overall knowledge and generalization capabilities of large-scale language models, especially in cross-domain scenarios. In line with this, we introduce Bella Turca: a comprehensive Turkish text corpus, totaling 265GB, specifically curated for training language models. Bella Turca encompasses 25 distinct subsets of 4 genre, carefully chosen to ensure diversity and high quality. While Turkish is spoken widely across three continents, it suffers from a dearth of robust data resources for language modelling. Existing transformers and language models have primarily relied on repetitive corpora such as OSCAR and/or Wiki, which lack the desired diversity. Our work aims to break free from this monotony by introducing a fresh perspective to Turkish corpora resources. To the best of our knowledge, this release marks the first instance of such a vast and diverse dataset tailored for the Turkish language. Additionally, we contribute to the community by providing the code used in the dataset's construction and cleaning, f
