## 🚀 **Project Overview & Mission**

The **Zomi Language** (ISO 639-3: `ctd` / `zom`) is the lingua franca of the Zomi people across the highlands of Myanmar, India (Manipur/Mizoram), and Bangladesh. Despite a vibrant literary history and millions of speakers, it remains "Low-Resource" in the global digital ecosystem.

**The Zomi-English Parallel Intelligence Corpus (ZEPIC)** is the world's first open-source, machine-readable dataset designed specifically for Large Language Model (LLM) fine-tuning. It moves beyond simple dictionary matching to capture **semantic context, idiomatic expressions, and syntactic alignment.**

### **Core Objectives**
* **Digital Sovereignty:** Owning our data to prevent digital extinction and ensuring the Zomi identity thrives in the AI era.
* **Educational Access:** Enabling instant translation of global knowledge (Science, Medicine, Law) into Zomi.
* **Cultural Archiving:** Preserving oral history and literature through advanced text generation.
