Warlpiri Dictionary

A Dictionary of the Warlpiri language from the Northern Territory, Australia

The Warlpiri language (Ethnologue/ISO code: wbp) is spoken in and around the central eastern area of the Northern Territory, Australia. Warlpiri is spoken by about 3000 people, either as a first or second language.

This dictionary app is based on the Warlpiri 2nd edition published online at ausil.org.au. The 2nd edition is the result of nearly 20 years of fieldwork by Steve Swartz in the 1980s and 1990s under the auspices of AuSIL (formerly known as SIL-AAIB), and is an update and expansion of his 1997 dictionary. Like most of AuSIL's resources, this dictionary reflects long-term collaboration with the wider Warlpiri-speaking community as well as with other linguists, most notably Dr. Kenneth Hale (now deceased) and Dr. Mary Laughren as part of the Warlpiri Lexicography Group.

This android app edition has 7278 entries (many including Warlpiri definitions, multiple senses, and a few subentries), and 9174 merged reversal entries.
