Kashmir has a rich oral tradition filled with proverbs and idioms that encapsulate centuries of wisdom. As generations shift, this linguistic heritage is at risk of fading. Kashmiri Idioms is a digital platform designed to preserve, celebrate, and teach this cultural treasure to the modern world using cutting-edge technology.
Explore a vast, searchable collection of authentic Kashmiri idioms. Each entry provides:
- Kashmiri text (Perso-Arabic script)
- Roman transliteration for pronunciation
- English translation and literal meaning
- Cultural context to understand usage
A structured, gamified learning path (/hechun) taking users from the basics to fluency:
- Alphabet Lessons: Learn the script and sounds.
- Interactive Quizzes: Test your knowledge.
- Progress Tracking: Earn badges and climb the leaderboard.
Practice your pronunciation with our integrated AI model. The system listens to you speak Kashmiri words/phrases and provides real-time feedback, making learning interactive and effective.
- Leaderboards: Compete with other learners (
/leaderboard). - Streaks & XP: Stay motivated with daily goals.
- Badges: Unlock achievements for your milestones.
Users can submit new idioms (/submit) to grow the archive. Submissions are verified to maintain authenticity.
