Safeguarding Our Voice: A Digital Initiative for the Kashmiri Language
The Silent Decline
The Kashmiri language (Koshur) is currently classified as "vulnerable" by UNESCO. In a digital-first world, languages that lack a strong online presence risk fading into obscurity. The intricate idioms, proverbs, and unique phonetics of our mother tongue are slowly being replaced in daily conversation.
Our Solution: Hečhun
We believe preservation requires adaptation. Hečhun (To Learn) is not just a dictionary—it is a living, breathing learning platform. We are building the modern digital infrastructure Kashmiri needs to thrive, ensuring it remains relevant for future generations.
Core Innovation
Bridging tradition with cutting-edge technology.
Personalized Learning Path
Every learner is unique. Unlike static textbooks, Hečhun offers an adaptive structure that evolves with you. Whether you are a beginner starting with the alphabet or a fluent speaker brushing up on complex poetry, the platform tailors the journey to your pace and proficiency.
Structured Curriculum
From basic phonetics to advanced grammar, we moved beyond scattered resources to create a formalized, step-by-step curriculum designed for clarity and retention.

Language lives in speech. We are developing a custom AI model to provide real-time feedback on your pronunciation.
