The Osage Nation Language Department has launched an online dictionary! The database includes 2,717 Osage-English and English-Osage words, along with a helpful phonetic key on the sidebar. The Osage Nation Language Department instructors have spent an estimated 2,000 hours researching, compiling and proofreading the database in an effort to continue revitalizing the Osage language.

“Many hours were spent on the online dictionary to make it searchable for all levels of users of our Osage members,” said Vann Bighorse, Osage Nation Secretary of Language, Culture and Education. “The online dictionary will be a tool for our Osage members to use and research to broaden their knowledge of the Osage language. This is true sovereignty.”
