A language with no digital presence — until now.
Harari faces real pressure from larger dominant languages, and has virtually zero digital infrastructure — no machine-readable corpus, no translation tools, no learning platforms.
harar.dev brings together developers, linguists, researchers, and Harari speakers to change that. We're building the digital foundations the language needs to survive and thrive.
A language with no digital presence becomes searchable, learnable, and teachable — because its own community decided to build the infrastructure together.
Free yourname.harar.dev subdomains for developers. A shared identity and a reason to show up.
Collect words, phrases, sentences, and documents. Structure them into a machine-readable corpus. Every contribution is credited and permanent.
Once the corpus is large enough: translation APIs, dictionaries, NLP models, and a learning app. The community builds the data. The data powers the tools.
Harari has virtually no digital presence. No datasets, no translation models, no machine learning tooling. The foundations don't exist yet — someone has to lay them.
Language preservation is time-sensitive. Every year, ground is lost to larger dominant languages. The people who carry this language won't be here forever.
The community owns the work. Contributions are credited and permanent.
Not a side project or an experimental demo. Real infrastructure — versioned datasets, public APIs, community governance. Designed to outlive any single person.
Free subdomains for developers. The first contributors joining from Harari communities everywhere.
