Abstract

The focus is on critical problems in NLP related to linguistic diversity and variation across the African continent, specifically with regards to African local di- alects and Arabic dialects that have received little attention. We evaluated our various approaches, demonstrating their effectiveness while highlighting the potential impact of the proposed approach on businesses seek- ing to improve customer experience and product development in African local dialects. The idea of using the model as a teaching tool for product-based instruction is interesting, as it could potentially stimulate interest in learners and trigger techno entrepreneurship. Overall, our modified approach offers a promising analysis of the challenges of dealing with African local dialects. Particularly Arabic dialects, which could have a significant impact on businesses seeking to improve customer experience and product development.
