Amis Moedict (阿美語萌典) @wildjcrt (g0v slack)

’Amis/Pangcah Dictionary, an online ’Amis to Chinese / English / French dictionary, was established with the power of citizens to preserve the once considered soon-to-disappear indigenous language.

In Taiwan, there are 16 different indigenous nations. Though their languages never developed into writing system, detailed records have been made with the efforts of missionaries and cultural heritage inheritors.

The ’Amis/Pangcah Dictionary is the first example of an digitized, online indigenous language dictionary. We hope that others can develop their own online dictionaries, too.
