Find words in
Indigenous languages

An independent dictionary and learning project built from attributed language resources and contributions. Search what is recorded, hear available voices, and follow each word back to its source.

Source-backed dictionary lookup
Try

Search in either direction: enter a word in Kuku Yalanji, or an English meaning. Each result opens its recorded source and review trail where available.

4 languages, 13,711 entries, and source and review information shown wherever the underlying record provides it.

How it works

Built from attributed language resources, with terms and uncertainty kept visible.

01

Source-attributed dictionaries

Entries are assembled from named dictionaries, grammars, archives, recordings, and contributions. Source and review state are shown where the record supports them.

02

Missing stays missing

Learner-facing results come from dictionary records. When no source-backed entry matches, the gap stays visible instead of being filled with a plausible machine guess.

03

Open code, visible terms

The application code is MIT-licensed and can be self-hosted. Language data and model weights retain their own source-specific and upstream terms.
