The vocabuary, spoken and written, is from Kurmanji Kurdish. The Agency has plans to make available the dictionary in other foreign languages spoken in Sweden.

Has anyone produced a visual dictionary? There are several in English (and I suppose other major languages). I’m interested in examples for minority languages.
 
A visual dictionary would be composed of pictures with labels. A page might contain numerous pictures of animals with each animal labeled in the vernacular (and perhaps the national language). Another page might contain a large picture of a house with each part labeled. If anyone knows of a dictionary that has employed this type of format, I would appreciate knowing how to obtain a copy.
 
Thanks,
Ron Moe
