Anejom~ is the language of
Aneityum, the southernmost island in Vanutatu. This dictionary,
compiled by a professional Oceanic linguist and native speaker
of the language, contains almost 5,000 Anejom~ lexical items,
with definitions in both English and Bislama (the national
language of Vanuatu). Both English-Anejom~ and Bislama-Anejom~
finderlists are provided to make the dictionary accessible
both to linguists and to ni-Vanutatu who may not speak or
read English. The dictionary uses a newly devised orthography,
which more accurately reflects the phonology of the language
than the one in current use. It is hoped that the dictionary
will prove valuable to linguists, to native speakers, and
to children learning to read and write in the language. It
complements A grammar of Anejom~, also by John Lynch and published
by Pacific Linguistics.
