We, the undersigned, urge you to include Kashmiri language support in your language models, such as ChatGPT. As a rich, ancient language spoken by millions, Kashmiri deserves a place in the digital world. AI tools like yours are transforming the way we interact with technology, and it’s vital that Kashmiri speakers are not left behind.

Why Kashmiri Needs to Be Supported:
Kashmiri, spoken by people in Jammu & Kashmir and the global Kashmiri diaspora, is more than just a language—it is the key to preserving the culture, traditions, and identity of millions. However, it remains underrepresented in the world of AI.

While languages like English, Spanish, and Arabic have become part of the digital conversation, Kashmiri continues to be excluded from essential AI tools. This gap hinders access to technology for millions of speakers and threatens the survival of the language in the digital age.

Benefits of Including Kashmiri in AI:
Increased Access: Adding Kashmiri language support will empower millions of speakers to access AI-driven tools and services, improving their interaction with technology.

Cultural Preservation: AI tools can help revive and preserve Kashmiri language and culture, passing it on to younger generations.
Breaking the Digital Divide: Supporting Kashmiri will bridge the digital gap, ensuring Kashmiri speakers are not left behind as AI technology becomes increasingly integrated into daily life.

Economic Opportunities: Kashmiri speakers will gain more opportunities in education, business, and communication by interacting with AI in their native language.

Our Request:
We ask OpenAI to prioritize the inclusion of Kashmiri in its language models, ensuring that Kashmiri speakers have the same access to cutting-edge AI technologies as speakers of other major languages.
