This draft of the Sawai dictionary was begun many years ago. A lot of work still needs to be done. In the mid 90s, the Sawai language was written for the first time and some books were published. However, when the war in North Maluku started in late 1999, not much work on the Sawai language has occurred since then. If you see improvements that need to be made to the dictionary, we'd love to have your comments.
