Description
Search, Listen, and Learn Lakota
The New Lakota Dictionary (NLD) Mobile App is the best way to look up Lakota words, hear pronunciation, and view thousands of example sentences while on the go. It’s the ultimate electronic Lakota learning and reference tool.
• Male and female voices for audio
• Consistent phonemic spelling – Standard Lakota Orthography
• Superior cross-referencing capabilities
• Faster and more responsive than online versions
• Works offline, without active data connection
• Inflection charts show complete inflectional paradigm
• Copy/Paste by word or line
• Save favorites lists and navigate search history
• Leave comments to improve future versions
• Built-In keyboard for typing special characters
• Built-In lemmatizer searches for conjugated verbs and word forms
• Over 400 native speakers involved in its development and review
• Accurate and reliable
• Fun to use and explore
• An excellent self-study tool
The lemmatizer is one of the biggest advantages of the app when compared to the printed version of the NLD. Affixes are added to words all the time, so identifying stems with multiple affixes can be challenging in a print dictionary, but this dictionary app does that for you. If you type in e.g. waŋwíčhablake the app will show you the entry waŋyáŋkA.

Ratings and Reviews
Still supported?
The app is great; I use it quite often.
I notice though that it hasn’t been update for some time. Is this app no longer being supported? I know the LLC website it mentions going through the web browser and saving it to the home screen, which iOS isn’t letting me do (asked at an Apple Store and they said I couldn’t do this, so I assume it’s not just me).
Good App For All Lakota Learning Levels
I have the book but the app is really fast and helpful with word meanings and conjugations. I am pleased to use the dictionary which was made with Lakota people. It is a really good thing to read and share. The dictionary can be searched with english or lakota words. it can be read in lakota if you are a fluent speaker. The dictionary will supplement other lakota learning materials you may have. Its really exciting to be able to read and pronounce new words quickly. u can also hear audio of each words pronunciation.
Needs better navigation
When I’m in an entry and I click on another word it would be nice to be able to swipe or use the arrow back to go back to where I navigated from to go between pages rather than swiping and it goes to the next alphabetical entry. I know it’s a dictionary but it would be nice to have some text about letter sounds and piecing together sentences correctly since it’s different from the English order. That’s where I have a problem with the example sentences clicking on a word to see what it is and then not being able to nav back to where I was without re-searching the page I was at
