Overview
Most language apps chase the big global languages and quietly skip the rest. Silq is built for the ones they overlook: the languages spoken across the Central Asian, South Asian, and Afghan diaspora, so people can reconnect with how their own family actually talks.
The hard part is nuance. Afghan Dari isn't standard Persian, and Afghan Pashto isn't Pakistani Pakhto. Getting those regional variants right is what makes a lesson feel real instead of textbook filler, and wrapping the whole thing in a game is what keeps people practicing long enough for it to stick.
I build Silq end to end in React Native and ship a single codebase to both the App Store and Google Play. That spans the lesson and gamification flows, audio playback, progress tracking, the built-in translator, and the flashcard system.
