Empowering AI with Bangladesh’s Regional Languages

The voiceprint of Bangladesh, turning diverse regional dialects into high-quality annotated data for next-generation AI.

Empowering AI with Bangladesh’s Regional Languages — Fixensy’s Data Initiative

The Mission

"To preserve regional dialects of Bangladesh, digitize spoken variations of Bangla, and build a high-quality annotated dataset for AI research and language technology."

A Living Voice

Bangladesh speaks Bangla, but Bangladesh lives in dialects. A greeting in Chittagong carries a different melody than one in Sylhet. In Rangpur, the same words sound warmer, closer to the soil, while in Barishal, they flow like the rivers that shape the region. At Fixensy, language is not just data — it is identity, culture, and a living voice.

Identification

The
Obstacles

01

Lack of structured datasets for Bangladeshi regional dialects

02

Major differences in pronunciation and meaning across regions

03

Difficulty capturing emotion, tone, and real conversational flow

04

Inconsistent annotations due to the absence of standardized linguistic rules for dialect labeling

05

The need for high accuracy transcription and intent tagging, which requires time and trained human expertise

"Building this dataset demanded more than just technology. It required people who spoke the language from the heart."

Our Process

High Precision Operational Model

Regional Language Mapping & Strategy

  • 8 major regions selected: Chittagong, Sylhet, Rangpur, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barishal, Mymensingh, and Dhaka
  • Local linguistic consultants and native speakers onboarded
  • Detailed Fixensy Regional Language Collection & Annotation Guideline developed

Real-World Data Collection

  • Conversations recorded using mobile audio kits and structured interview formats
  • Sources: Daily life conversations, storytelling, market dialogues, and cultural expressions
  • Authenticity ensured via unscripted natural speech

4-Layer Annotation Framework

Stage 01

Transcription

Converting spoken dialects into text exactly as spoken

Stage 02

Normalization

Adding the standard Bangla equivalent for each sentence

Stage 03

Intent Tagging

Identifying emotions, requests, questions, and sentiment

Stage 04

Entity & Context Labeling

Tagging people, places, professions, and context

Project Participant

Digital Empowerment Initiative

Transformative Outcomes

Project Impact

AI must learn people’s real voices, not just textbook language

Including regional dialects makes language models more accurate, inclusive, and culturally aware

Language preservation can also become digital empowerment

When technology values local voices, people begin to see themselves in the future of innovation
