New Lakota Dictionary - Mobile

The New Lakota Dictionary (NLD) Mobile App is the ultimate electronic learning and reference tool for Lakota language learners. It allows users to easily look up Lakota words, hear pronunciation, and view thousands of example sentences, all while on the go. With male and female voices for audio, users can listen to accurate pronunciations of the words they search for.

One of the standout features of the app is its consistent phonemic spelling, which follows the Standard Lakota Orthography. This ensures that users are learning and pronouncing words correctly. The app also offers superior cross-referencing capabilities, making it easy to explore related words and concepts.

Unlike online versions, the NLD Mobile App works offline, without the need for an active data connection. This makes it convenient for users to access the dictionary anytime, anywhere. The app also includes inflection charts that show complete inflectional paradigms, allowing users to fully understand the grammatical structure of words.

Another useful feature of the app is the ability to copy and paste words or lines, making it easy to incorporate Lakota vocabulary into other documents or study materials. Users can also save favorites lists and navigate their search history, making it convenient to revisit previously searched words.

The NLD Mobile App also encourages user feedback by allowing users to leave comments to improve future versions. This ensures that the app continues to evolve and meet the needs of its users. Additionally, the app includes a built-in keyboard for typing special characters, as well as a built-in lemmatizer that searches for conjugated verbs and word forms.

Developed with the input of over 400 native speakers, the NLD Mobile App is accurate, reliable, and fun to use. It serves as an excellent self-study tool for anyone looking to learn or improve their Lakota language skills.
