Project to promote the Circassian language and culture has begun its work

 


Here is the text published by Circassian activist Anzor Kunash, who has created a project to promote the Circassian language and culture. The project has already gone live and is available for use.

I'm happy to share a personal project I'm launching – adiga.ai
With this project, my hope is to contribute to preserving, developing, and promoting the Circassian language, culture, and history through the power of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technologies.
After years of collecting and refining Circassian data, and training text, audio, and image models, I'm now bringing everything together under one platform.

Currently, there are two main tools available:

* Circassian Translator (zedzek.com): An online translator that allows easy translation of words or entire texts between Circassian (both literary dialects) and languages such as Russian, English, Turkish, Arabic and others. You can also experiment with translating between the two Circassian dialects. Try it out at zedzek.com.

* Chatbot Nart: A friendly AI assistant similar to ChatGPT, that can speak Circassian. You can ask it anything, and it will try to answer in Circassian. It is free and available at adiga.ai/chat. (Note: It’s experimental, and can make mistakes, so your feedback is very welcome)

Going forward, the project aims to enhance the online presence of the Circassian language through releasing public text, audio, and image datasets, and collaborating with major tech companies such as Google, Meta, Yandex and others.

Future plans include further improving existing tools, as well as releasing advanced speech recognition and generation tools, and more.

As always, I'm happy to collaborate with individuals and Circassian organizations interested in preserving and promoting our culture. Your support and feedback means a lot – thank you to everyone who's helped so far!
