Preserving Igala Language with AI Technology
The Challenge
Minority languages like Igala face a significant challenge in the digital age: limited written content available online. Most AI models are trained on widely-spoken languages with extensive digital footprints, leaving minority languages underrepresented and underserved.
Without sufficient written text from language communities, AI services struggle to:
- Generate accurate translations
- Provide contextual responses in the native language
- Understand cultural nuances and idioms
- Support language learning and preservation

Understanding Credits & Tokens
What Are Tokens?
Tokens are the basic unit of processing in AI models. Think of them as "words" that the AI processes. Both your input and the AI's output consume tokens.
Example:
Your message: "Hello, how are you?" (4 tokens)
AI response: "I'm doing well, thank you!" (6 tokens)
Total used: 10 tokens
Token Count Examples:
- 1 token ≈ 4 characters in English
- 100 tokens ≈ 75 words
- 1,000 tokens ≈ 750 words
- Average paragraph: 100-150 tokens
Igala Language Tokens:
- Igala words may use more tokens
- Complex characters count separately
- Cultural terms count as multiple tokens
- Translation adds token overhead
Daily Token Limits
| Package | Daily Messages | Avg Tokens/Message | Total Daily Tokens | Images/Day | Videos/Day |
