"Watching a father and son speak different languages inspired BOLI."
— Subhan Tahir, Founder
📅 The Origin Story
📅 June 7th, 2026 · A Sunday morning in Canada

The gap nobody
stopped to think about.

Working on Baand, staying with his cousin's family in Milton, Ontario — Subhan noticed something most people never stop to think about.

1
Salman
The Father
Spent his life speaking Urdu. Carried a language across continents — from Pakistan to Canada.
2
Zayyan
The Son, age 7
Grew up speaking almost entirely in English. The world his father knew was fading, fast.
3
Subhan
The Observer
Noticed the love between father and son was obvious. The language gap was too.
The Insight
Duolingo teaches a language.
BOLI teaches where you come from.

💔 The Problem

Every immigrant family
faces the same story.

Millions of families are slowly losing the language, culture and stories that connect generations.

👨‍👩‍👧
01
Parents speak their roots
They carry a language across oceans — precious and fragile.
📱
02
Children grow up in English
School, friends, media — everything pulls them away from the mother tongue.
💔
03
One generation later
The language and culture fade. Grandparents and grandchildren can't speak to each other.

⚡ Why Now

Three trends
just collided.

🤖
AI Became Human
Children can now have natural, meaningful conversations with AI that feel like real family time — not like a textbook exercise.
🌍
Diaspora Is Growing
More immigrant families than ever are raising children abroad. The demand for identity-preserving tools has never been higher.
💛
Parents Are Worried
Not about grades. Not about jobs. About identity. Parents actively search for ways to pass on their culture and language.
