Partner with Nzinga on African languages.
Nzinga needs community-consented language data, native-speaker reviewers and research partners. Work with us on text, recordings and evaluation, wherever your language is spoken.
Your language, your voice, your terms. Njinga Mbande, Luanda, 1622: the stance behind the name.
How we work.
Measure first
Every claim has a number from a test set behind it. Results published either way.
Consent is recorded
Every contribution carries a consent record. Changes add a record, never edit.
Share the benefit
Communities that join together can hold a shared agreement and benefit.
What partners get
Open results
Results published openly, whether positive or not.
Credit
Every data source is named, with its licence, in the data notices.
Licence on record
A licence record for every source in the governed corpus.
Licence share
When partners license recordings, members get a share of revenue.
Better tokenizers
Fewer tokens for your language, in every model.
A voice in governance
Who governs the library is still an open decision.
