Project summary

  • This proposal aimed to promote Karai-Karai language and culture through Wikipedia, increasing online representation and digital literacy among Karai-Karai speakers, raise awareness about Karai-Karai Wikipedia and its importance. Currently, the Karai-Karai language is on the Wikimedia Incubator as can be seen here and it has over 180 articles but it is also important to note that the language is active on Wikidata with some few lexemes created. This will provide an opportunity to empower speakers of the Karai-Karai language to contribute to Karai-Karai Wikipedia thereby increasing the articles quality and number on the Wikipedia.
