Introduction

The original lexicographer, Dr. Richard Smith, and his wife Karen used the Fulfulde dictionary’s data base to create vocabulary lists with general vocabulary divided into three levels for language learners, as well as theological terminology for church planters, medical vocabulary for health care workers, veterinarian-animal husbandry vocabulary for those working in that sector, and agro-forestry vocabulary for those working in those fields. Each list is specific for one of the four sub-dialect areas mentioned above.

This online dictionary has a search function designed to look up words in English or French and find the corresponding Fulfulde word.
