+# Overview
+## Project
+This model is part of a larger initiative dedicated to enabling Bambara speakers to access global knowledge without language barriers. 
+Our goal is to eliminate the need for Bambara speakers to learn a secondary language before they can acquire new information or skills. 
+By providing a robust dataset for Text-to-Speech (TTS) applications, we aim to support the creation of tools for bambara language, thus democratizing access to knowledge.
+
+## Bambara Language
+
+Bambara, also known as Bamanankan, is a Mande language spoken primarily in Mali by millions of people as a mother tongue and second language.
+It serves as a lingua franca in Mali and is also spoken in neighboring countries (Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast etc...). Bambara is written in both the Latin script and N'Ko script,
+and it has a rich oral tradition that is integral to Malian culture.
