​Background: Web Languages Project

​Welcome! This is a crowdsourced (voluntary) effort to improve crawling of low-resource languages. This dataset is public. Common Crawl recognizes a lot of languages, and we can see that we don't have enough of languages. We are interested in languages from all over the world. If you choose to help, you'll be helping create lists of websites related to languages that you read or speak.

​Why This Matters for Nigeria’s Digital Landscape

​Nigeria, with over 500 indigenous languages, represents one of the world's most linguistically diverse nations. While some of our languages like Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo have established online presence, many others need better documentation and digital representation. In this short event-sprint, we aim to create a comprehensive map of Nigerian languages on the web, supporting language preservation and digital inclusion.

​What We Need You to do

​Join us for a collaborative documentation sprint focused on discovering and recording online spaces where Nigerian languages and/or cultures live. We'll document

• ​News websites in Nigerian languages

• ​Cultural and historical resources

• ​Government services offering local language options

• ​Educational platforms

• ​Community forums and social media spaces

• ​Digital language learning resources
