Our Mission

The African Center for Language Preservation is dedicated to documenting, preserving, and revitalizing the rich linguistic heritage of Africa. We work tirelessly to ensure that no language is lost to time.

Through cutting-edge technology, community partnerships, and scholarly research, we create comprehensive archives and educational resources that empower communities to maintain their linguistic traditions.

Our mission extends beyond preservation—we actively support language revitalization efforts, helping communities reconnect with their ancestral tongues and ensuring these invaluable cultural treasures continue to thrive for future generations.

Advancing multimodal AI through comprehensive dataset research and evaluation

Our research encompasses the development of high-quality datasets across text, audio, and video modalities, alongside rigorous model evaluation and benchmarking methodologies. We are pioneering open-source solutions for cross-lingual communication through our collaborative translation platform.
