## 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 |
+
|
30 |
+
