## Igbo Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
The vocabulary foundation is organized by linguistic categories (pronouns, verbs, nouns, adjectives) with over 200 core [Igbo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo_people) words. |
|
|
|
|
|
Linguistic Accuracy: The vocabulary accurately reflects Igbo grammar patterns, including: |
|
|
|
|
|
+ Proper tone marks (ị, ọ, ụ, ṅ) |
|
|
+ Igbo-specific grammatical constructions |
|
|
+ Present continuous tense with "na-" prefix |
|
|
+ Appropriate verb conjugations and noun formations |

|
|
+ Traditional Igbo proverbs (ilu) with explanations |
|
|
