 ## About This Repository
 
 This repository contains source code for gRPC libraries implemented in multiple
-languages written on top of a shared C core library [src/core](src/core).
+languages written on top of a shared C++ core library [src/core](src/core).
 
 Libraries in different languages may be in various states of development. We are
 seeking contributions for all of these libraries:
