## 🌍 Introduction
**Kikuyu-AI-model** is a language learning and translation platform focused on revitalizing the Kikuyu (Gĩkũyũ) language. Spoken by over 8 million people in Kenya, Kikuyu is increasingly under threat due to the widespread use of English and Swahili.
This project leverages AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to:
- Support personalized learning
- Facilitate translations between Kikuyu, Swahili, and English
- Integrate cultural and linguistic nuances
- Encourage educational adoption and community engagement
By bridging linguistic gaps and modern technologies, this tool supports both learners and researchers in deepening their understanding of the Kikuyu language and culture.
