We are pleased to announce that our Living Dictionaries online dictionary-builder now includes an Assamese interface. This will help people in Assam (India) use the website entirely in Assamese as well as browse dictionaries for local indigenous languages such as Sora (spoken in Assam and elsewhere).
We want to be sure that the platform’s functionality is not just English-centric but accessible to people coming from many different linguistic backgrounds. You can now navigate and build dictionaries directly the platform using interface languages such as Assamese, French, Spanish, Russian, KiSwahili, Bengali, Hebrew, Malay, Bahasa Indonesia and Portuguese. Several others are coming soon!
Below are some snapshots of the Sora Living Dictionary using the new Assamese interface.
Thank you to the many volunteer translators who contributed to the Assamese version of the platform: Palash Nath, Luke Horo, Kapil Medhi, Dr. Seuji Sharma, Dr. Gitanjali Bezbaruah, Biren Baruah, Khagendra Nath Medhi, Pranab Sharma, Dhanmani Baishya, Chan Mohammad Ali, and Rahul Choudhary.
Living Tongues team members Anna Luisa Daigneault and Luke Horo coordinated these translation efforts and Diego Córdova Nieto implemented the translations onto the website.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful, multilingual day.
