This dictionary was submitted to the Resources Database by Dr. MJ Hardman (Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology at the University of Florida).
Dr. MJ Hardman writes: “This is a database driven dictionary of the Jaqi languages – Aymara, Jaqaru and Kawki. It is still under construction. Reference back to the db will give sound. We are adding pictures, but there are only a few so far. Each morpheme comes with a concordance. We plan to have the reference back to the db available by clicking rather than the current cumbersome method. All definitions are provided in both Spanish and English; also grammatical information of each morpheme is provided. This was created, and is continuing to be constructed, by an interdisciplinary group that included/includes native speakers of the languages involved. The Aymara was based on putting the Aymara language course online [http://aymara.ufl.edu/Aymara/]; the Jaqaru and Kawki are directly database driven and based on the texts there.”
