The disappearance of languages has been at the center of scholarly debate over the past decade, as languages around the world continue to vanish at an alarming rate. In the face of this accelerating linguistic loss, it is crucial to harness digital technologies to preserve endangered languages and safeguard their linguistic and cultural heritage. As part of this research, we developed an online lexical database accessible to a wide range of users. Providing open access to these Niaboua language resources will contribute to the advancement of scientific research in general and linguistic research in particular. Moreover, because the resources are available digitally, researchers will be able to consult and analyze them remotely, thereby reducing the need for repeated field visits.
