Relatives and Fellow Researchers: I received this good news tonight. I hope the new dictionary will assist someone in their search. MIKE Tue Jul 15 13:49:19 2008 Pacific Time New Lakota Dictionary to Transform Language RAPID CITY, S.D., July 15 (AScribe Newswire) -- Lakota Language Consortium announces the publication of the New Lakota Dictionary. This highly anticipated reference text is expected to be one of the most important works ever published in the language. It goes on sale Friday, July 18, through the Lakota Language Consortium. The 1,112-page volume is the most up-to-date and comprehensive dictionary to emerge in the last 75 years and is designed to serve as a foundation for modern Lakota and Dakota in the 21st century. The dictionary is the product of 25 years of linguistic work with over 300 fluent speakers from across all the dialect areas. It represents the Lakota language and its dialects with complete historical and contemporary accuracy from the Sioux reservations of Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, as well as the eastern Yankton and Santee-Sisseton communities.
