## 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 |
+
