This year, we published dictionaries for two minority languages spoken in Nigeria: Olùkùmi and Owé (a dialect of Yorùbá). This represents the first-ever attempt to put the words, definitions and usages of these two languages into print. We are pleased to see the dictionaries in print! They are also available for free download below.

Dr. Arokoyo also collaborated with linguist Dr. Greg Anderson, coordinator Anna Luisa Daigneault and web developer Diego Córdova Nieto at Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages for release of the online versions of these dictionaries: the Olùkùmi Living Dictionary and the Owé Living Dictionary.
These online resources contain text entries with accompanying multimedia such as audio and images. Research assistants Akano Johnson and Samuel Olanrewaju have contributed to recording audio for these Living Dictionaries. Living Tongues interns have also contributed to data entry and audio editing.
