Channel: ICLDC YT
Date: 2021-02-14

We are presenting on the development of the Jejueo Talking Dictionary, a free online multimedia database and Android application scheduled for release in August 2021. Jejueo is a critically endangered language spoken by 5,000-10,000 people throughout Jeju Province, South Korea, and in a diasporic enclave in Osaka, Japan. The Jejueo talking dictionary may serve as a tool for language acquisition in Jejueo programs in schools, as well as a repository for oral history and ceremonial speech. The aim of this video is to discuss how the interests of diverse user communities may be addressed by the methodology, organization and scope of talking dictionaries.
