Egyptian phrases
Kalam Masry, It's an Egyptian learning website based on the most appearance for the words I collected from Twitter, in 2020 I created a Twitter bot that post some images and some random jokes, meanwhile I was collecting this dataset from the region, after 4 years my wife started teaching Egyptian language, I got inspired from her. I thought about my dataset, how can I help her and her students with this. Then I decided to create Klam Masry | كلام مصري | Egyptian Phrases, it's a simple platform to display the most used Egyptian words and phrases.
Klamantina (كلامنتينا)
A crowdsourced platform where Egyptians reclaim their language by replacing foreign words with authentic Egyptian alternatives words through community submissions and democratic voting.
