| ## Igbo Dataset |
|
|
| The vocabulary foundation is organized by linguistic categories (pronouns, verbs, nouns, adjectives) with over 200 core [Igbo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people) 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 |
|
|
