Learning Kabyle on verified human content only: 208,000 real sentences, a digitized dictionary, spaced repetition. No LLM-invented Kabyle. # tiwizi Learning Kabyle (taqbaylit) for real, built on **verified human content** rather than the approximate Kabyle a language model invents. > *tiwizi* is the Kabyle word for collective work done for the common good, the way a village helps one of its own build a house. *The path: pieces, then patterns, then construction. Every unit unlocks the next.* *Idir, the tutor: he speaks to you, corrects you, and makes you produce Kabyle.* ## The principle Language models are bad at Kabyle: it is a low-resource language, they barely saw it in training, and they hallucinate it confidently. So tiwizi does not trust them with a single sentence. Every piece of content comes from real human sources. - **208,000 real sentences** from Tatoeba (CC-BY), with audio. - **The Dallet dictionary**, digitized: 12,500 entries with meanings, roots and examples (DigitizedDallet, MIT). - **Spaced repetition**: an SM-2 engine schedules your reviews, progress kept locally. - **A cognitive session engine**: exercises built around patterns (induction, anticipation, judgment, generation) rather than flashcard drills. ## Stack Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind 4. Data is served locally from `data/*.json`, search runs server-side through API routes. ## Run it ```bash pnpm install pnpm dev # localhost ``` ## Rebuild the data The JSON files are versioned in `data/`.
