Why This Matters
Nigeria, with over 500 indigenous languages, represents one of the world's most linguistically diverse nations. While some of our languages like Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo have established online presence, many others need better documentation and digital representation. In this short event-sprint, we aim to create a comprehensive map of Nigerian languages on the web, supporting language preservation and digital inclusion.
What We need You to do
Join us for a collaborative documentation sprint focused on discovering and recording online spaces where Nigerian languages and/or cultures live. We'll document
- News websites in Nigerian languages
- Cultural and historical resources
- Government information
- Any other thing you want to share about the culture or language
- Informative websites (written in another language) about the culture and native language
