kasahorow Dictionaries

This project builds on the success of the kasahorow Keyboards project.

The first online kasahorow dictionary was of the Akan language. We now maintain online dictionaries for a few more languages such as:

• Akan online dictionary
• Amarinya online dictionary
• Chewa/Nyanja online dictionary
• Fula online dictionary
• GaDangme online dictionary
• Ewe/Gbe online dictionary
• Gikuyu online dictionary
• Hausa online dictionary
• Igbo online dictionary
• Lingala online dictionary
• Luganda online dictionary
• Oromo online dictionary
• Yoruba online dictionary

Collaboration
We then got a boost from PALDO, the Pan-African Living Dictionary Online, a multilingual dictionary project in several African languages(*) initiated by the Kamusi Project. The project used software developed by kasahorow to manage the multilingual content. PALDO included:

1. 2500-term IT terminology lexicons for 12 languages, supported by IDRC as part of the PALnet initiative
2. Kinyarwanda - English - Swahili dictionary, supported by the US National Endowment for the Humanities
