About the SEAlang Library Sgaw Karen Dictionary Resources These resources are based on the Drum Karen-English Student Dictionary (Drum Publication Group, 2008). It was derived from an earlier Drum work, the Junior English-Karen Dictionary (2nd edition, 1999). The Karen languages are tonal, and belong to the Tibeto-Burman group of the Sino-Tibetan family. Besides Sgaw (sometimes S'gaw or Paganyaw), the other primary Karen dialects are Pwo and Pa'o. They are not mutually intelligible. Fonts You must use a Unicode 5.1-compliant font.
