I Built a PWA for Languages That Aren't on Duolingo — Here's What Actually Happened
There are over 400 tribal languages in India. Gondi. Santali. Kurukh. Toda. Mundari. Languages spoken by millions of Adivasi people across the country.

Duolingo has Klingon. A made-up language from a TV show. But nothing for any of these.
That gap bothered me enough that I spent the last several months building something about it.
