Kikuchi Associates

Selected for what's written, not how many people read it

Kikuchi Associates builds learning software for languages and writing systems that remain relatively undigitised. Eastern Armenian first, through Hayeren. Old Church Slavonic and Tuvan are next.

How a language gets chosen

Undigitised
Little or no structured learning software exists for it today.
Textual depth
A body of literature, liturgy, or thought worth reading in the original.
A way in
Prior scholarship to build on, even if thin — and speakers to be corrected by.
