A collaborative effort to digitize, translate, and preserve African languages through advanced AI and NLP systems.
Africa is home to over 2,000 languages, yet fewer than 3% are represented in computational systems. The bottleneck isn't talent or innovation; it's accessible, high-quality data.
Over the past five years, the African Languages Lab has built a foundation to change that: ~50 billion tokens spanning 40 languages, 54 countries, and over 500 million speakers.
We're building enterprise-grade language technology to bring African languages online, improve digital inclusion, and make localization easier for everyone.
A digital future where every African language is fully represented and accessible online, enabling seamless communication and cultural preservation.
Winner of LocWorld's 2025 Process Innovation Challenge and recognized as "2025 Innovator of the Year" for MansaLLM, a unified AI model for African language translation and localization.
