A long-term home for Kokborok knowledge.

Yapiri Project expands the work of script creation into language documentation, teaching, publishing, community participation, and technology.

Mission

Preserve what exists. Organise what is known. Enable what comes next.

The project aims to create dependable, expandable resources for Kokborok speakers and learners. Its role is to connect community knowledge with modern editorial methods and digital tools without reducing the language to a symbolic identity.

Development roadmap

Build in layers, not disconnected features.

Language foundation

Dictionary entry model, grammar architecture, sentence corpus, numerals, spelling rules, and editorial standards.

Learning system

Stable static lessons, guided practice, progress tracking, word-based reading, and teacher-ready materials.

Publishing and translation

Parallel readers, educational book translation workflows, style guides, terminology management, and reviewed content releases.

Language technology

Search, transliteration, spell-checking, keyboard support, OCR experiments, speech datasets, and machine translation research.

Community contribution

Many people can contribute without editing the website.

Create contribution forms and review queues for speakers, teachers, writers, and researchers. Every submission should preserve who contributed it, where it came from, which variety it represents, and who reviewed it.

Words

Meanings, parts of speech, example sentences, related words, regional variants, and sources.

Sentences

Natural speech, translations, contexts, audio, speaker metadata, and consent.

Review

Editorial checking for spelling, grammar, meaning, dialect, cultural accuracy, and publication readiness.

yapiriproject.com can become the public front door.

Behind it, a structured editorial database should manage dictionary entries, grammar records, corpus sentences, media, contributors, and release versions.
