Enemray: Toward Capable Language Models for Hassaniya
We introduce Enemray, a Hassaniya-centric language model that enables general-purpose interaction in Hassaniya. Enemray is trained around a stability--plasticity objective: acquire strong Hassaniya linguistic and cultural competence while preserving the general reasoning, multilingual, instruction-following, and safety behaviors of a capable instruction-tuned model. The development pipeline separates language acquisition from behavioral specialization. A separately assembled continual-pretraining corpus provides broad exposure to natural Hassaniya and Mauritanian text; layer-selective continual pretraining learns a compact language-specific parameter update; that update is transferred int...
