Revised and updated Chamorro-English Dictionary as of January 2024
This is an in-progress version of the revised Chamorro-English Dictionary, a revised and updated version of Topping, Ogo, and Dungca (1975). We will start uploading as many of the dictionary entries as we can as we progress. What you see here is the first upload. Please check at least once every three to six months for the latest updates as we continue to edit the more than 10,000 entries to date and add new words as we find them.
Some information about this project can be accessed here. Additional information about the people, agencies, and organizations who helped, and plans to continue updating this dictionary in the future will be forthcoming.
You may contact us via email here: iknmkam21@gmail.com if you have suggestions, more information about an entry, etc.
