About the role

Open text for two languages Nzinga covers is thin. Online Tachelhit text is Latin script only, and openly licensed Hassaniya text is about 100 KB of proverbs. We need partners holding Arabic-script text they can share with community consent.

What you will do

  • Share Arabic-script Tachelhit or Hassaniya text you hold the rights to
  • Confirm the community consent and licence behind each source
  • Agree how the text is credited and used
  • Help find more text for small corpora, such as Bemba and Swati
  • Review the results for your language with us

What you bring

  • Text in Arabic-script Tachelhit or Hassaniya: books, broadcasts, archives or teaching material
  • The right to share it, in writing
  • Ties to the communities whose language the text holds
  • A wish for shared benefit

Nice to have

  • Native speakers who can review tokenizer output
  • Speech recordings with consent from every speaker
