Hey, thanks for the reply, those are some very good points your raised. I'll explore the resources you shared as well.

The trick with this kind of project is the outcome. The way I was thinking about it was mostly as a personal side project. But if it requires more resources and effort than that then it's a different topic.

It's not clear who'd benefit from this, beyond an interesting curiosity to toy with here and there.

Yeah, why not? then you could make it open source for the next person to build on, like this https://www.researchgate.net/post/Any_available_algerian-dia...

A lot of people. Don't you think the Algerian government is monitoring social networks? how are they processing it? This is the most evident "security" need (for which states are generally very generous with their pockets).

In the longer term, as I said earlier, this is a key to everything from humanities research to daily computer use.

Yeah, I agree with you in spirit. It's just that the government might not see it the same way (mostly for lack of mastery).

But what I was tyring to say is : as you mentioned earlier this is a purely spoken language. Any "formal" communication happens either in French, Arabic or more rarely in English. As things stand right now, a dialect LM wouldn't get a lot of mileage.

Which is way I wanted to kinda limit the scope initially.
