Igbo Dataset
The vocabulary foundation is organized by linguistic categories (pronouns, verbs, nouns, adjectives) with over 200 core Igbo words.
Linguistic Accuracy: The vocabulary accurately reflects Igbo grammar patterns, including:
- Proper tone marks (ị, ọ, ụ, ṅ)
- Igbo-specific grammatical constructions
- Present continuous tense with "na-" prefix
- Appropriate verb conjugations and noun formations
Cultural Integration: Unlike generic datasets, this includes:
- Traditional Igbo proverbs (ilu) with explanations
- Cultural practices like Iri ji (New Yam Festival)
- Marriage customs and bride price traditions
- Traditional greetings and social interactions
