Low-Resource Language Data

Why teams choose Langigs

Most of the world’s languages have little or no digital data, which means millions of people are left out of new technology. Rooted in Africa, Langigs connects you with native speakers and language experts to create the text, speech, and evaluation data these languages need — responsibly and with the communities who speak them.

Community-rooted network

Access native speakers and language professionals close to the communities you want to serve.

Linguistic expertise

Support for orthography, dialect variation, and terminology where standards are still emerging.

Responsible practice

Fair contributor treatment, informed consent, and respect for community ownership.

Impact beyond the model

Help expand digital inclusion for speakers of underrepresented languages.
