Abstract

We propose compiling an isiZulu Language for Special Purposes (LSP) dictionary to be deployed and made available through an online software interface. This study develops alongside the much needed studies on open-source code for creating dictionaries and on the work of writing online dictionaries for languages like isiZulu.
