The Washo Project

The Washo Documentation Project is a comprehensive multimedia documentation of the Washo language, partly funded by the National Science Foundation, in collaboration with the Wa:šiw Wagayay Mangal (the official Washo language school of the tribe), and various elders in the Dresslerville and Woodfords communities.

Our current effort has been focused on compiling an analytical and cultural dictionary of the Washo language. This dictionary will include, in addition to English-Washo and Washo-English glosses, morphological analysis, and substantial references to audio and textual information.
