High-Quality English–Gĩkũyũ Parallel Corpus

This dataset addresses critical gaps in existing Gĩkũyũ (Kikuyu) NLP resources. Gĩkũyũ is the most widely spoken indigenous language in Kenya (approximately 8 million native speakers), yet it is absent from major African NLP benchmarks such as MasakhaNER and MasakhaPOS, and scores poorly in Meta's NLLB/FLORES-200 evaluation (3–9 BLEU).
