La culture de l'olivier séduit de plus en plus d'agriculteurs au Pakistan. Résiliente et adaptée aux terres arides, elle devient indispensable, dans ce pays qui fait partie des plus exposés aux bouleversements climatiques.

Standard Large Language Models (LLMs) are incredible, but they have a massive blind spot: **rural and regional dialects.** While standard Pashto is supported by some models, they completely fail to capture the rich, localized grammar of the Khattak dialect spoken in Karak, Nowshera, and Kohat (Pakistan). To solve this, I built **Khatta-ka-LLM** —the world's first AI language model fine-tuned specifically for the Khattak (Khatak) dialect. _(Note: You can read the original architectural breakdown on my Software Engineering Portfolio or test the model live below)._ **Watch the Live Testing Video:** ## 🛠️ Technical Architecture As a Software Engineer specializing in AI Infrastructure, my focus was on creating a clean, scalable, and reproducible pipeline for low-resource languages. Here is how I built it: ### 1. The Custom Dataset Because no dataset existed for this dialect, I curated a custom dataset of 2,000+ English-to-Khattak pairs. This represents the first digitized collection of Khattak linguistic markers, focusing heavily on the unique grammar used in the Karak and Kohat regions. ### 2. The Fine-Tuning Pipeline To achieve high performance on consumer-grade hardware, I utilized the following stack: * **Base Model:** Qwen2 Architecture * **Framework:** Unsloth (for highly optimized, faster training) * **Technique:** LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) * **Performance:** Through careful hyperparameter tuning, the training loss dropped significantly from **3.44 to 0.22**. ## 📘 The Linguistic Engineering (Rulebook) To ensure the AI didn't just speak "standard Pashto with a Khattak accent," I had to engineer specific linguistic rules into the model's training weights. Here are a few of the core rules the model learned: ### 1. Pronouns & Possession * **My / Mine:** The model uses **مو والا (Mo wala)** instead of the standard _Zama_. * **To me:** Uses **موته (Mota)** instead of standard _Mala_. * **We:** Uses **موخ (Moxh)** instead of standard _Mung_. ### 2. The "Noon Ghunna" (ں) Rule In the Khattak dialect, first-person verbs end in a nasal **Noon Ghunna (ں)** rather than the standard "M". * _Standard:_ Za Kar Kawom (I do work) * _Khattak AI:_ **زه چار کاوں (Za char kaon)** ### 3. Phonetic "O" Shifts The model successfully converts standard "A" sounds to the deep Khattak "O": * Asmaan ➡️ **Asmon (اسمون)** * Baraan ➡️ **Baron (بارون)** * Bazaar ➡️ **Bazor (بازور)** ## 💡 Why This Matters By focusing on high-quality, localized data, **Khatta-ka-LLM** successfully translates English into pure Khattak Pashto. As a Software Engineer from Pakistan, my goal is to bridge the gap between modern AI infrastructure and regional linguistic heritage. We shouldn't have to lose our dialects to use modern technology. I would love to hear your thoughts on fine-tuning models for low-resource languages! Have you worked with Unsloth or LoRA recently?
