2002 Publication, University Press, Nigeria - The lack of a comprehensive dictionary has hindered the learning and teaching Igbo and the language has been neglected, due to considerable variations between the dialects, and the lack of a single authorative policy on a standard written language. This massive new resource seeks to document different dialects of Igbo, but specifically Central Igbo dialects. Wherever possible and necessary, variants are given from different dialects. In documenting developments of a living language, the dictionary is also designed to work towards a standard Igbo.
