+ ## Igbo Dataset
13
+
14
+ 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.
15
+
16
+ Linguistic Accuracy: The vocabulary accurately reflects Igbo grammar patterns, including:
17
+
18
+ + Proper tone marks (ị, ọ, ụ, ṅ)
19
+ + Igbo-specific grammatical constructions
20
+ + Present continuous tense with "na-" prefix
21
+ + Appropriate verb conjugations and noun formations
22
+
23
+ Cultural Integration: Unlike generic datasets, this includes:
24
+
25
+ + Traditional Igbo proverbs (ilu) with explanations
26
+ + Cultural practices like Iri ji (New Yam Festival)
27
+ + Marriage customs and bride price traditions
28
+ + Traditional greetings and social interactions
29
