A Dictionary of the Wa Language with English, Chinese, and Burmese (Myanmar) Glosses and Internet Database for Minority Languages of Burma (Myanmar) "...The SOAS Wa Dictionary Project is a three-year effort (2003-2006), funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board to produce a high quality dictionary, translating Wa into Chinese, Burmese/Myanmar and English. The project will use advanced techniques in corpus-based lexicography, centred on a database and Internet resource which will also be suitable for other languages spoken in Burma/Myanmar besides Wa after the life of the project..." The academic objectives of this project are * to compile an electronic Wa language corpus from printed and recorded materials suitable for linguistic and textual analysis * to produce two dictionaries of the Wa language from the corpus: one scholarly and one for Wa-speaking end-users * to record, document, preserve and disseminate the corpus using the Internet * to establish, by the end of the project, an expandable template for corpus-driven lexicography and linguistic research on other minority languages of Burma..."
