About the SEAlang Library Waray Resources SEAlang's Waray dictionary is based on George Dewey Tramp's Waray-English Dictionary (Dunwoody Press, 1997). It includes just under 30,000 headwords, and has nearly ten thousand etymological and dialectal references. |
|
Tramp is a major contribution to Waray-Waray scholarship.
The print work includes an extended discussion of both grammar, and the complex Waray-Waray
morphological system.
