Although we have the necessary links, it still might be a good idea to give as context for the present page content the Legon-Trondheim project.

== Dictionaries of West-African Languages ==

I was wondering if it is possible to summarize on this page which lexicons have been produced and which ones are under development.
A short bibliography might also be of interest.

as for the plural of lexicon: "Lexicons" returns twice as many Google searches (about 1.5 million) as compared with "lexica". :-)

Maybe we should talk about 'dictionaries' instead of lexica.

Within the NUFU project framework the following products have been produced
* Akan Encyclopedic Dictionary (pilot edition of 1700 words)
* Gurene dictionary (full publication)
* Ga dictionary (full publication, second edition)

Work in progress
* Ewe Health dictionary (to be published)
* Logba dictionary (an edition which is more of a wordlist type was part of a PhD thesis of Kofi Dorvlo, Leiden); he is currently working on an update for an enlarged edition.

Related work
* Bete dictionary (CI), there was an exchange with the NUFU project in terms of visits; dictionary published in Abidjan, CI.
* An Akan learner's dictionary was developed at the University of Zurich (word list type with sound files for pronunciation.


GILLBT
* about 12 dictionaries of minority languages are in various stages of completion. Some pilot editions (e.g. Adele, Kasem, Konkomba) are available. More details will follow soon.
