isiZulu.net: Bilingual Zulu-English dictionary

isiZulu.net is a hobby project trying to build a reasonably useful, modern Zulu-English online dictionary that anyone can contribute to using the forum. Beyond bidirectional word search, it offers translation of simple Zulu and English phrases, automatic morphological decomposition, conjugation and phonetic transcription of Zulu words, spell checking as well as grammar and pronunciation basics.


PINNED: A side note on papers
