This is really cool, I’m native Hawaiian, even though I look super white, and within two generations my family went from exclusively Hawaiian to almost exclusively English. I couldn’t help preserve the culture or language even if I wanted to. Soley because I don’t know the language and only have second hand experience of the culture through my grandma’s experience before Hawaii was a state.

Efforts like this are super powerful tools to keep preservation efforts from turning to tourism motivated strategies. You are doing some really great work here.

Hi Codie,

Thank you for the kind words!

The Lnu-AI system can be pre-trained and fine-tuned on an entirely different language if that was the goal. I’ve provided the logical guidance of what you’d need and the data files to support an embedded language lexicon. If you feel inspired, feel free to clone it.
