Body | From http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?ID=201005310035&Type=aEDU e-dictionary preserves dying indigenous languages, cultures By Lee Hsien-feng and Deborah Kuo May 31, 2010 An e-dictionary of the languages and cultures of Taiwan's indigenous people has been compiled to help preserve indigenous mother tongues and collective memories that are quickly dying out, the Ministry of Education said Monday. The MOE urged people, particularly Taiwan's aborigines, to take advantage of the e-dictionary, which can be found on the Web site http: //citing.hohayan.net.tw/default.asp . The ministry said the reference work would help users reinforce, learn or revive these dying languages and cultures before it is too late. It covers the mother tongues of 14 indigenous mountain tribes and the Pingpu plains (low-lying areas) aborigines. The e-dictionary also has sections on 16 cultural subjects, including religions and worship, myths and legends, social organizations and functions, languages and philology, archeological sites and relics, and history.
