# Tigrinya Language Intelligence Platform **Building the foundational AI infrastructure for Tigrinya language intelligence.** Tigrinya (ትግርኛ) is spoken by millions of people and is served by almost none of the language technology that speakers of high-resource languages take for granted. This project exists to build that missing layer — not as an application, but as infrastructure that others can build on. > **Status: Phase 1 complete; Phase 2 critical path complete.** Three research > domains done (`00_project_definition`, `01_ecosystem`, `02_linguistics`), seven > decisions recorded. No architecture designed and no code written. See > `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`. > > **Phase 1 changed the plan.** Most of the Tigrinya model layer already exists > and is largely openly licensed. Our differentiator is the **primitives layer** > (Ge'ez normalisation, tokenization, morphology), the **evaluation harness**, > and the **API/MCP/SDK surface** — none of which anyone has built. Read > `docs/research/summaries/` — three summaries, two > pages each. --- ## What this project is Language infrastructure: models, data, services, and developer interfaces that make Tigrinya computationally tractable. The platform is scoped to eventually provide translation, semantic search, cross-language retrieval, embeddings, grammar checking, spell correction, transliteration, morphological analysis, lemmatization, named entity recognition, entity linking, a knowledge graph, RAG capabilities, summarization, question answering, developer APIs, an MCP server, and SDKs. **This is not a news application.** It is not a content product of any kind. If work starts drifting toward an end-user media experience, it has left scope. ## Core philosophy Reuse existing models whenever possible. Train only when proprietary advantage exists. Prioritise, in this order: **data quality → evaluation → reproducibility → low operating cost → maintainability.** Full statement in `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`. --- ## How th …
