The Laga Language

- L'Association de Recherche et d'etudes de la Langue Laga has requested that we use the term Laga rather than the term used in The Ethnologue and elsewhere, Laka, as the language is pronounced with a 'g', not with a 'k'. The latter term is considered by some a remnant of colonialism.

Project Lexicon
|
The Laga Lexicon, Lexique Laga, contains approximately 1850 words,
and some 1420 sample sentences. The research was conducted in N'Djamena during
the summers of 2011 and 2012. A spell check has been run on the sample sentences to ensure that
all the words they contain are also contained in the lexicon. The words and sentences have
been translated into French in order to make them more useful to readers in Chad.
Work on this lexicon is being continued with the L'Association de
Recherche et d'etudes de la Langue Laga, and we have hopes of being to be able to
produce a small dictionary by 2014.
The
Laga Sound Dictionary allows you to page through the Laga dictionary entries and listen to the
words and sentences. However, we are currently missing a fair number of sample sentences for words.
