Welcome my people I am Lela, Lakota

Love the update! So helpful to hear speakers.

I really love all the updates that have been added to the new version. Being able to hear the language to correct my own pronunciation is so helpful. I use this app almost daily as a reference and it’s been very useful in my studying.

Good App For All Lakota Learning Levels

I have the book but the app is really fast and helpful with word meanings and conjugations. I am pleased to use the dictionary which was made with Lakota people. It is a really good thing to read and share. The dictionary can be searched with english or lakota words. it can be read in lakota if you are a fluent speaker. The dictionary will supplement other lakota learning materials you may have. Its really exciting to be able to read and pronounce new words quickly. u can also hear audio of each words pronunciation.

Great resource!

This is a great app for those that want a resource for the Lakota Language. It has so many entries, for how the words are used. In the latest update, it has a great chart for all the different conjugations of the verbs. This is very helpful in learning the diffeeent conjugations.

BRAVO on new version!

Amazing updates… these make the app REALLY easy to use. So happy! Love the pop-up congregation (“inflection”) charts & that you can create specific lists in “favorites” for study purposes. All of these new features are really going to help me in my Lakota language learning journey. Thank you, LLC!

Pronunciation

I’m not able to get a verbal sound from a lot of words. It keeps wanting me to copy or go to or search when I want to heard a pronunciation of a word

LLC is a corporation from Indiana

Ullrich is a hobbyist from the Czech Republic and is the compiler of this dictionary. He and Meya and the LLC and the TLC are banned from the Standing Rock nation.

Despite Standing Rocks initial investment, they have never shared revenues with this corporation- no Lakota tribes do.

There are no citations meaning no honoring of the people who have helped and which word and which community they are from.

Their writing system was forced on the Lakota people in order to sell these products.

Also, the text corpus database where this stems from- the Lakxota people not any tribes have access to it. This is a data grab, harvesting from people who already are experiencing settler colonial violence.

Fraud

The editor is non-native and not even from the US. His definitions are not translated correctly. So. It rely on this info. He is a fraud.

RIP-OFF!!

Just purchased through App Store. Nothing works. All I get when I click on the icon is a description of the supposed content. Not functional. I just lost $9.99.

Response from developer

Hello, when you open the app, you will need to use the search bar to look up words in Lakota or English. If you continue to encounter issues, please email tech@lakhota.org and we will help you get it resolved.

Purchased recent and not supported

Bought the app and it’s essentially dead on arrival. Really disappointed it’s still for sale when it’s not been migrated to current compatibility.
