Digital dictionary
A mobile-first English ↔ Kasem dictionary and phrase tool for students, teachers, families, researchers, and the diaspora.
Project Kasena is building the first trusted digital Kasem dictionary, phrase corpus, and AI-ready language dataset — created by the community and validated by elders and teachers.
We are starting with what matters most: a trusted, dialect-aware, validated language corpus that can power dictionaries, learning tools, translation systems, research, and future voice technology.
A mobile-first English ↔ Kasem dictionary and phrase tool for students, teachers, families, researchers, and the diaspora.
Youth contributors submit words and phrases while elders and teachers validate accuracy, usage, and cultural meaning.
Clean sentence pairs, dialect tags, domain terms, and cultural expressions become the foundation for future Kasem AI systems.
Build the MVP platform, collect words and sentence pairs, tag dialects, validate submissions, and publish a trusted Kasem language foundation.
Use the verified corpus to support learning tools, domain-specific vocabulary, grammar support, and early translation experiments.
Collect consented audio, transcribe radio and community recordings, and prepare the foundation for future speech recognition and text-to-speech.
We are inviting educators, traditional leaders, students, linguists, developers, cultural institutions, funders, and community members to collaborate.
