Glusuaqann tet iga'tas'gl ta'n telgaqalugwatas'gl.
Words are posted as they are considered complete.
The plan:
The talking dictionary project is developing a 6,000+word Internet resource for the Mi'gmaq/Mi’kmaq language. Three speakers record each word. Multiple speakers allow one to hear differences and variations in how a word is pronounced. Each recorded word is used in an accompanying phrase spoken by a single speaker. This permits learners the opportunity to develop the difficult skill of distinguishing individual words when they are spoken in a phrase.The project is centered in Listuguj, therefore we are starting with the Listuguj dialect.
The orthographies (spelling system):
Each word is presented using the Listuguj orthography. The Smith-Francis
orthography will be included in the future. Some spellings are speculative.
Listuguj is located on the southwest shore of the Gaspè peninsula, in the Gespe'g territory of the Mi'gmaq.
