Online dictionary of north-east languages

December 10th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

Are you curious to know what the right word is for ‘mother’ in some of the major languages spoken in north-east India? If yes, key in the word ‘mother’ in the search box at http://www.xobdo.net and choose the language or dialect you want and you will get the equivalent word.

Started as an online Assamese-English dictionary in 2006, XOBDO is the brainchild of Bikram M. Baruah, an engineer of Assam.

It is currently run by a team of volunteers.

In 2007, xobdo.net added multiple interfaces to include 16 more languages spoken in the north-east: Khasi, Dimasa, Bodo, Karbi, Nagamese, Garo, Ao, Mizo, Mishing, Tanii (Apatani), Monpa, Meitei-lon, Bishnupriya, Chakma, Kok-Borok and Kuki.
