Hi HN, long time lurker, first time poster. I created this wiki with the goal of having it store audio files for any conceivable language, with respect to city or region - ideally, if the site were fully fleshed out, one could browse through the languages, listen to a native Vietnamese speaker from Hanoi, another from Ho Chi Minh City, and another from Huế, and distinguish the difference between Northern, Southern, and Central Vietnamese dialects, except with enough audio files, have this process be extended out to every region on Earth. I'm still in the process of seeding the Wiki with languages from other regions; I'm currently gathering English/Yoruba/Pidgin/Igbo from Nigeria, Vietnamese/English from Vietnam, and Swahili/English/Local dialects from Kenya. After that I'm moving on to India and Latin America. Currently, I mostly have audio files from China, but it should be enough to give you the gist of the project. Open to any questions. Thanks.
