This October, the Liangmai Literature Society Manipur held a two day workshop on dictionary making, supported by the Liangmai Foundation, the Liangmai Writers Research Forum, and the CoRSAL archive. This was the latest in a series of workshops since 2019 to promote Liangmai writing with spelling guidelines and a comprehensive dictionary. Workshop sessions focused on orthography conventions used in existing Liangmai literature, and the development of a dictionary of Liangmai. Check out the Liangmai Foundation orthography guide, and Dr. WichamDinbo Mataina’s 2022 presentation about compiling the dictionary.

Stay tuned for additions to the Liangmai Language Resource in CoRSAL, and a Liangmai dictionary on the horizon!
