Roadmap

Where Knyaw is headed

Knyaw is a living project, built in the open with the community. Here is what is done, what is next, and the big thing on the horizon.

Live

Live now

  • Reading lessons, romanization-first
  • 200+ native-verified words across 11 themes
  • The full alphabet, being checked with a native speaker
  • A searchable picture dictionary with a page for every word
  • Hand-drawn illustrations for most words, to make them stick
  • Daily review that helps words stick
  • Community verification — speakers help check the words
Next

Working on next

  • More verified words, with the community's help
  • Short phrases and sentences, not just single words
  • Pictures for the rest of the words too
  • More menu languages, to reach more of the community
Later

The big one, later

  • Audio, recorded with native speakers. This is what finally lets Knyaw teach pronunciation and tone honestly. It needs recordings and funding, so it comes when those are in place.

There are no fixed dates — Knyaw moves as fast as time, funding, and native-speaker help allow. Want it to move faster?
