Language preservation

About



Language extinction is a crisis, with over 40% of the world’s 7,000 languages at risk. Every lost language represents an irreplaceable loss of culture, knowledge, and identity. By combining technology and community-driven efforts, our platform aims to reverse this trend and create a scalable solution for global language preservation, while providing an example of meaningful use of AI. We plan to launch the first version of our AI-powered indigenous language preservation platform by March 2025. This initial version will include core features such as speech recognition, interactive language learning modules, and cultural storytelling integration. A prototype of the Zapara language will be ready by the end of this year (2025) to demonstrate its feasibility and functionality.
