Currently under development
This project is currently under active development. We are open to commmunity feedback and will be seeking testers in the near future. If you would like to contribute to the direction of this project, feel free to contact me.
kiyânaw Database
kiyânaw Database provides learner-driven deep context exploration within real-world language. By indexing content from transcriptions and other published materials, learners are able to search for words, partial words, or phrases that support their current learning context. Initially being development for nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree Y-dialect), kiyânaw Database holds the vision of being able to support learners of any Indigenous language.
High frequency words
When analysis (spell-checking) is available for a language, advanced indexing becomes possible, allowing us to keep a list of high-frequency words. Studying these lists can help to speed the advance our comprehension and fluency.

Explore in-context
Rather than just simple word lists or dictionaries, learners can explore for words within their current study domain and see & hear them used in-context. Links to existing transcriptions and other media let learners hear real language from fluent speakers, used correctly, in-context.

Powerful search
Being able to find words, partial words, or phrases adjacent to the materials we're currently studying as learners is extremely powerful. kiyânaw Database allows for powerful partial and advanced search to support the learner's journey.
