About the Dictionary

Creating the Dictionary

The MHA Language Project is always looking to record more Arikara speakers.  We have compiled all the words and phrases from our textbooks and apps for this version of the dictionary.

Currently we are presenting a version that has a lot of room to improve.  Our database will continue to grow over the next several years.  Please help us improve the dictionary by submitting corrections, suggesting words we have missed, or offering to participate in the documentation of this beautiful language.

Searching the Dictionary

The dictionary is searchable in English or Arikara.  You may notice an autocomplete list drop down from the search bar.  This will show possible Arikara words if you are searching in English or Arikara.  Just hit enter to complete the search to see all results, or click on the Arikara word that drops down to go to that entry.
