Who it is for

Speakers

Help preserve and grow your language for the next generation.

Researchers

Open, citable datasets for under-served languages.

Developers

Build translation, search, and speech tools that finally include these languages.

Why it matters

Most Namibian languages have little digital text or speech data, so modern language tools do not serve their speakers. Every translation, verification, and recording you add becomes open data that helps close that gap, built by the community, for the community.

Open by default

Every contribution is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, so anyone — researchers, developers, and communities — can freely build on it with attribution.
