Description
The New Lakota Dictionary (NLD) Mobile App is the best way to look up Lakota words, hear pronunciation, and view thousands of example sentences while on the go. It’s the ultimate electronic Lakota learning and reference tool. • Male and female voices for audio • Consistent phonemic spelling – Standard Lakota Orthography • Superior cross-referencing capabilities • Faster and more responsive than online versions • Works offline, without active data connection • Inflection charts show complete inflectional paradigm • Copy/Paste by word or line • Save favorites lists and navigate search history • Leave comments to improve future versions • Built-In keyboard for typing special characters • Built-In lemmatizer searches for conjugated verbs and word forms • Over 400 native speakers involved in its development and review • Accurate and reliable • Fun to use and explore • An excellent self-study tool The lemmatizer is one of the biggest advantages of the app when compared to the printed version of the NLD. Affixes are added to words all the time, so identifying stems with multiple affixes can be challenging in a print dictionary, but this dictionary app does that for you. If you type in e.g. waŋwíčhablake the app will show you the entry waŋyáŋkA.
