Introduction

The Kayaw language is spoken by about 20,000 people living in Eastern Myanmar. This is the first attempt to compile a trilingual dictionary for the Kayaw language. Words were collected by 20 speakers of the language in a week-long workshop in April 2016. A second workshop for editing was held in March 2017. A smaller group then spent several months in editing, revising, and adding to the entries before publication in September 2017. There are many improvements still to be made, but we have decided to publish this work-in-progress in order to document the work we have done so far.

You can give your feedback, comments, or suggest additional words and examples in the comment section under each entry.
