Welcome to the Omaha dictionary project. The goal of this dictionary is to become a comprehensive language resource that is accessible to Omaha language learners from middle school through adult. The entries for this dictionary come from multiple sources, both written and oral. It is meant to be a teaching resource. As we climb the technology learning curve we will continue to add and revise the entries. The addition of sound files will provide students with the opportunity to hear the spoken language.
The dictionary data is entered using the Field Linguist's Toolbox software, Version 1.4, November 2004 Windows. Toolbox is produced from Shoebox 5.0 by SAG, with permission from SIL International.
This is a long-term project that will require much time and energy. Please be patient as we labor to bring the language out of old documents and back into the light of day. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
