Code in your mother tongue.. ### Code in Your Mother Tongue. **Nigeria's first desktop IDE for programming in Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo, Fulfulde, English, and French.** --- *Formally presented at the National Engineering Conference, Abuja (2022)* Download Binary Release --- Why 9CE? • Features • Installation • Screenshots • Roadmap • Contributing --- ## The Problem Over 200 million Nigerians speak Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo, and Fulfulde as first languages — yet every mainstream programming tool assumes fluency in English. For millions of talented young people, especially in underserved northern communities, the English-language barrier arrives *before* the logic barrier. They never find out whether they could have been programmers. **9CE removes that barrier.** ## Why 9CE? 9CE is a full-featured desktop code editor whose entire interface (menus, dialogs, tooltips, error messages) is available in six languages: **Hausa, Yorùbá, Igbo, Fulfulde, English, and French**. It was born from a simple conviction: the language you dream in should not disqualify you from building software. The project's founder learned to code using **BBC BASIC**, a language designed to make computing accessible to ordinary British schoolchildren in their own language. 9CE extends that same courtesy to learners, and professionals. Beyond education, 9CE is part of a broader mission: **digital inclusion as community safety**. Giving young people in northern Nigeria a genuine pathway into technology creates economic opportunity where recruitment into violence often preys on the absence of one. ## Supported Languages | Language | Region | Status | |----------|--------|--------| | 🟢 Hausa | Northern Nigeria, Niger, Ghana | Full UI | | 🟢 Yo …
