Hey guys,

Today, I’ve had a look at the Gĩkũyũ dictionary which Steve started some time ago on Wikimedia’s incubator. I’ve put up some categories and templates so the dictionary is ready to be populated now. If you’re so inclined, please have a look at the structure of a dictionary entry like http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wt/ki/guoko and follow the same.

Btw, if you need to write tildes over i and u (ie. ĩ and ũ) on ordinary keyboards, you may want to download the Firefox app at http://accentuate.us which supports Kikuyu. You can then write a text with an ordinary keyboard, highlight all or the part of the text which is Kikuyu and with a right click, all the necessary tildes will automatically appear (accuracy of 95%).

Yours for the under-represented languages on the web,

BT
