The Surrey Morphology Group and the University of Edinburgh announce the
launch of the online Nuer Lexicon www.nuerlexicon.com. Nuer is a Western
Nilotic language spoken primarily in South Sudan and Ethiopia. The particular
focus of the lexicon is morphology, which in Nuer is especially interesting,
involving a wide range of alternations (vowel length, quality and phonation
type, tone, consonant mutation) and a rich array of verbal derivational
categories. The lexicon provides full paradigms, rendered both in the
practical orthography and IPA, and also allows for visualizations of the
underlying morphological structure. It is intended to be a growing resource,
and we are especially encouraging contributions from the speaker community to
expand and improve it.

The lexicon was developed as part of the project ‘Morphological Complexity in
Nuer’, funded by the Arts and Humanities Council (UK), whose support is
gratefully acknowledged.
