Tigrinya - ትግርኛ

[księżycowy]

I know I have some stuff in the Amharic thread, but since I hope to learn Tigrinya properly (after I learn some Amharic) I thought I'd start a new thread to see if anyone else was interested. Resources, links, news and other things can be shared here too, as long as they have to do with the Tigrinya language or people of course.



I've just gone and purchased the Tigrinya Reader and Grammar by Dunwoody and I'm happy with it for the most part. Just wish they used transliteration to represent pronunciation. But I'll get a dictionary for that.

Anyone know any good Tigirnya -> English dictionaries aside from Kane's expensive beast? And a good English -> Tigrinya dictionary would be nice too. Transliteration for pronunciation in addition to the Ge'ez script is a must for at least the T -> E one.
I have found two good online dictionaries, but what can I say, I would prefer books.

Here are the few good online dictionaries I've found, starting with the best first:

Just in case anyone comes to this thread and hasn't seen our poll in the Hebrew forum, please check out this poll that will help us decide what to do with the Semitic languages.

Just wanted to drop by and say that NALRC has published a Tigrinya textbook!
