[RNLD] Rawang Dictionary app

[Randy J.LaPolla]

Hi All,
Last year David Sangdong, a member of the Rawang community in Myanmar, and I finished the Rawang-English-Burmese Dictionary, then made it available on line (see http://tibeto-burman.net/rda/) and also printed 1000 copies for distribution in the Rawang community. Recently David collaborated with some friends in Thailand to create an Android app (available from Google Play). 
I mention this partly to let people know of this resource (I have seen some comparative papers recently using data from older and less reliable and less complete sources on Rawang), but also to mention that this seems like a great and relatively easy way to get the resources we create into use in the community. 

Randy
