Languages of Chad

Language preservation centre

Pronunciation, vocabulary, oral stories, proverbs and learning: from Chad’s languages, with speakers’ consent. French remains the reference text. Sara, Ngambay and the other Chadian languages will grow here through reviewed deposits, not machine translation.

    Proverbs and songsNo proverb is invented to fill the page. An audio or written deposit goes through Contribute.

    LearningClassroom sheets, quizzes and passing culture between generations. Reviewed Sara or Ngambay lessons will come from speakers, not a generator.

A recording, proverb or oral story is published only with the speaker’s informed consent (and their community’s when custom requires it). You can ask for removal at any time.
