He has worked in close partnership with members of the Thangmi-speaking communities (Nepal and India) since 1996, and with members of the Heiltsuk First Nation (British Columbia, Canada) since 2015.

=== Policy and practice ===
Using academic research to inform policy and practice, Mark Turin worked as an occasional consultant for the World Bank and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, plus many United Nations agencies. He assisted in projects such as assessing the impact of sustainable ecoturism in Tibet, the drafting of the first inclusive multilingual education policy for Nepal, and advising the Government of Nepal on linguistics rights. In 2007, Dr.Turin created and directed the Translation and Interpretation Unit for the United Nations Mission in Nepal.

=== Innovation in teaching ===

==TLex (a.k.a. TshwaneLex)==
TLex is a software tool specially designed for the creation of dictionaries. It is a comprehensive tool for creating multi- or monolingual dictionaries, composed of a database together with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) dictionary entry editor. TLex is part of a broader software package focussed on language-related work, the TLex Suite, which also includes a corpus tool, a tool for creating terminology databases, and a special tool to read and compare these files.<ref>See the list of available software packages [http://tshwanedje.com/downloads/ here].</ref>

==Development & Pricing==
TLex is a proprietary software developed by [http://tshwanedje.com/ TshwaneDJe Software and Consulting], a South African company. The TshwaneDJe core team consists of two programmers, David Joffe<ref>http://tshwanedje.com/members/djoffe/cv.html</ref> and Malcolm James MacLeod<ref>http://tshwanedje.com/members/mmacleod/</ref>, as well as a tenured linguistics professor at Belgium's Ghent University, Dr Gilles-Maurice de Schryver<ref>See http://tshwanedje.com/members/gmds/cv.html and http://www.ugent.be/en/@@people?ugentid=801001464959.</ref>. TLex is actively developed, with the most recent version having been released in October of 2016.<ref>http://tshwanedje.com/news/</ref> Frequent updates are made to the software, which can be monitored via the online [http://tshwanedje.com/support/changelog ChangeLog].

The TLex Suite is licensed on a per-user basis, with each licence costing between €150.00 and €1900.00. An Endangered Language licence is available to those working on languages with fewer than 50,000 speakers, which costs the same as the cheapest licence but is not limited by the publishing restrictions that would otherwise apply. Most licences, including the Endangered Language licence, do not include support, which can be purchased separately.<ref>See http://tshwanedje.com/store/ for pricing and packages.</ref> The software may be evaluated free of cost for a limited period of time.

==Functionality<ref>Information taken from the TLex Suite [http://tshwanedje.com/docs/TLex%20Suite%20User%20Guide.pdf User Guide].</ref>==
TLex is a comprehensive tool which can be customized to suit any scale of project. Its database functionality makes it possible to use TLex from the beginning of a collection project, but it can also be integrated with an external database hosted on its own server. The default structure of the entries mirrors traditional print dictionaries closely, and can be modified to suit the needs of the project or language. For example, the data structure can be edited to include multimedia files in the entry. The Lua scripting language can be used for further customization of searches and styles. TLex's lexicography-specific tools include the following:
* `Masked' versions of the dictionary can be exported (eg, for a pocket version).
* Integrated capture of examples from corpora stored in the companion corpus software, tlCorp.
* Entries tagged as incomplete will, by default, not be exported.
* Entries in a bilingual dictionary can be automatically reversed to provide a starting point for the entry in the other language, or to create a lookup list.

TLex also supports project management of multiple workers on a common dictionary with the following tools:
* Compare/Merge tool to ensure work is not accidentally overwritten when local files are consolidated.
* User Management system that:
** Tracks which users created and last modified an entry;
** Provides statistics on the activity of each user; and
** Allows field-specific editing privileges.

TLex can import files in XML or plain text format. (CSV files can also be imported using the plain text importer.) Files are saved to a proprietary format and can be exported to RTF, HTML, or XML (with or without formatting). TLex's output is limited to the entries themselves, so users may wish to perform further processing before final publication. UBC PhD student James A. Crippen's [http://www.drangle.com/~james/dictionary/ Tlingit dictionary webpage] provides examples of TLex's `raw' output, as well as describing his process of post-processing into a PDF.

TLex is available for Mac or Windows.

==Users<ref>See sidebar at http://tshwanedje.com/tshwanelex/</ref>==
In addition to linguists and academic lexicographers like James A. Crippen here at UBC, TLex is used by:
* Publishing houses, including the University of Oxford Press and Pearson/Longman textbook publishers.
* Language authorities like the Malaysian Institute of Language and Literature, the Welsh Language Board, and the Czech Language Institute.
* Government bodies like Canada's Department of Justice and South Africa's Department of Arts and Culture.
* Translators, for their own use during large translation projects. (tlTerm appears to be designed for this market.)

Examples of dictionaries created using TLex can be found [http://tshwanedje.com/dictionaries/ here].

==Skills Required==
TLex is a sufficiently complex program that using it should be considered its own skill. Potential users should be aware that it may take some time to become familiar with the software and customize it to one's satisfaction. As noted above, additional skills and/or software may be required to perform the final processing of the dictionary.

[[File:Wolfdictionary.jpg|thumbnail]]
WOLF is a free software created by Professor Dan Harvey of Southern Oregon University<ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/</ref>. It is a software program designed to aid linguists in the creation of indigenous dictionaries. With a design reminiscent of an Excel document, the WOLF program has capabilities of creating and exporting dictionaries containing up to 100 languages, incorporating sound and other media files, searching and sorting abilities, and importing and exporting files.<ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/wolf/index.php</ref> The software is also compatible with other similar applications, such as FieldWorks and Tool box. <ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/wolf/wolf_2.1/documentation/features.html</ref>

==Development==
WOLF is an extension of the ACORNS Linguistic project, also created by Dan Harvey. The ACORNS (ACquisition Of Restored Native Speech) Project is inspired by the Native American tribes Southern Oregon and Northern California and intended to aid in language revitalization efforts.<ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/acorns/index.php</ref> The program is named to honour these tribes, whom consider the acorn sacred. The program suite helps language teachers and students to create lesson plans, which can are accessible from both smart phones and computers.
The first version of WOLF was released in 2010, and three updated versions have been uploaded since, with the lastest version being uploaded in 2016. <ref>http://listserv.linguistlist.org/pipermail/ilat/2010-May/006076.html</ref><ref>https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/acornsproject</ref>

== Features ==
[[File:WOLFinterface.png|thumbnail|An example interface.]]
WOLF is is designed to have a feel of an EXCEL spreadsheet, the reasoning being that many linguists already use the program for lexicography purposes<ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/wolf/wolf_2.1/documentation/features.html</ref> and as a result, the program contains rows and cells to enter data. It also incorporates the ISO language codes, as well as GOLD ontology. The program is compatible with Window, OS, and Linux.

A list of features include: <ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/wolf/wolf_2.1/documentation/features.html</ref>
* Up to 100 languages in a single dictionary
* Multimedia audio, picture, and video attached to words, examples, and definitions
* Comprehensive printout of dictionaries using general-purpose user-defined templates
*Dictionaries that display on Mobile devices using the ACORNS gallery application
*Generation of dictionary-based web-sites using user-defined templates
*Unlimited numbers of definitions and examples for a single word
*Uses the standardized GOLD ontology and ISO language codes
*Entry of phonetic representations
*Extensive search and sort capabilities
*Import and Export facilities employing XML
*Full MDF and SFM Import from FieldWorks ant Toolbox applications
*Entry of the dictionary copyright notice and contacts for contributing authors
*Ability to record audio that incorporates into the dictionary
*Undo and redo facilities to recover from errors
*Hard copy printouts

== Skills Required for Use ==
WOLF requires a user to have basic computer literacy, and possibly some familiarity or training with linguistics. It is a program specifically designed to for linguist use and incorporates items such as Phonetic transcription, ISO language codes, and GOLD ontology.<ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/wolf/wolf_2.1/documentation/features.html</ref>
However, this is not necessarily needed as the program has an instruction manual, which guides an user through the basics of the software. It can be accessed through the website or as a help tab in the program. <ref>http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/wolf/index.php</ref>

== Users ==
There is not much evidence of widespread use currently.
Brock Huddleston has created a Hawaiian dictionary using the program <ref>http://academics.brockh.com/PUKE-WEHEWEHE-OH.xml</ref> Professor Dan Harvey has also retired this year, and has chosen the [http://pages.uoregon.edu/nwili/ Northwest Indian Language Institute] (NILI) at the University of to host the ACORNS project, including WOLF.<ref>http://pages.uoregon.edu/nwili/news/acorns-project-finds-a-new-home-at-nili</ref>

== Lexicography Tool of the Week ==
The lexicography tool of week 9 is Kirrkirr, a software that pulls data from dictionaries in XML format to create semantic groups and games. It in itself is not meant for creating a dictionary from start to finish, but is rather a tool to accompany the process. It was created by Kevin Jansz, Christopher Manning, and Nitin Indurkhya in 1998/1999, and the site is currently hosted by Stanford Natural Language Processing Group.

== Aspects of Kirrkirr ==
Kirrkirr is an easy to use platform that requires little to run, and can be run on older computers. It comes with three mini dictionaries installed, which are Biao Min, Warlpiri and Japanese, but most dictionaries in XML format will run. It was intended for use by Indigenous language communities, specifically those in Australia. Clicking on a word will bring up a small semantic bunch, with the selected word in the center with related words surrounding. This bunch wiggles around in the screen by default, but the feature can be turned off. When a word is selected, the user can see the definition, create notes, look at domains, or play a word game. Clicking on one of the related words in the semantic bunch will then create another, which can get busy fairly quickly, especially when the wiggling is enabled. Although it would not be considered to be as innovative as when it was first developed, it is still a unique, engaging program.

== ELAN Incompatibilities ==
In 2007 it was found that version 4.0.2 of Kirrkirr was incompatible with ELAN on Mac OS X. When ELAN was installed, the installer would install Java input method libraries into the Java system extensions, which would load each time Java was opened. Unfortunately, this would also crash any software using anything under JDK 4.1, such as Kirrkirr. The problem was resolved within the same year, and the program works happily alongside ELAN.

==Criticisms==
Although Kirrkirr does have its uses and is engaging, the program appears to be a result of seeing what can be done, rather than what should be done. While the semantic maps can be useful in finding related words, the most useful feature within the program is the option to include a recording and photo with the entry in the .XML format of the dictionary, which is then imported. Being able to hear the correct pronunciation and create a visual connection to an object that the learner may not have seen before is more beneficial than clusters of words. If the user was able to create the word list and add or remove audio files or photos, it would be much easier for the user.
In saying that, not being able to create word lists in Kirrkirr creates limitations. Although the program was intended to be used as a companion to another program, including the ability to create the dictionary with audio and visual input would have made it an incredibly useful tool to dictionary creators and learners alike, much more so than it currently is. There is a large amount of premise within the core idea of Kirrkirr, but the program would need to be reworked and redesigned to meet the current needs of language communities and dictionary creators.

==State of KirrKirr==
Kirrkirr has gone without updates since 2008, and at this point could be considered obsolete.

Through FNEL 382, students approach concepts of Lexicography, such as compiling, editing, and organizing dictionaries, with a focus on ethical, community-led, collaborative, dynamic, diverse, technical, and on-going aspects of Indigenous endangered language lexicography projects.

Each week students will research a digital lexicography tool correlating to that week's topic, and discuss its potential to best support community-based Lexicography projects. For this week's topic of "Collecting Words to Documenting Indigenous Knowledge" the digital lexicography tool Miromaa <ref> [http://www.miromaa.org.au/miromaa/dictionary-maker.html/ Miromaa] </ref> will be reviewed.

Miromaa is an [[Awabaka]]l <ref> [ http://www.awabakal-e.schools.nsw.edu.au/resources/awabakal-tribe/ Awabakal] </ref> community based, protected, user friendly, [[dictionary writing system]] software program. <ref> [http://www.miromaa.org.au/images/files/miromaa/infobrochsm.pdf/ Miromaa brochure] </ref> that aims to help community users document, preserve, reclaim, revitalize and [[digitize]] Indigenous endangered languages. Miromaa is focussed on offering users multi-media abilities to attach sound, video and still images to each language entry recorded. Miromaa stores all of your digitized documents, and is compatible with PDF's, Word and Excel files.

The word Miromaa means 'saved' in the Awabakal language. <ref> [http://www.miromaa.org.au/home/media-activity/item/how-technology-can-save-dying-languages.html/awabakal word for saved Miromaa] </ref>

The idea for the Miromaa Language and Technology Centre , and dictionary making software began when Arwarkarl Cultural Resource Association (ACRA) started work on the documentation and revival of its own local language Awabakal in the late 90’s <ref> [http://www.miromaa.org.au/home/media-activity/item/how-technology-can-save-dying-languages.html/Miromaa beginnings] </ref>

Miromaa does not claim ownership of the Awabakal language and recognizes that Awabakal language belongs to the Awabakal country and it is most appropriate that this language be spoken on this land. <ref> [http://www.miromaa.org.au/our-voice/language-protocol.html/ Awabakal language protocol] </ref>
Miromaa <ref> [http://www.miromaa.org.au/miromaa/miromaa-features.html/ Miromaa software] </ref> software was developed by the Arwarbukarl Cultural Resource Association (ACRA) which aimed to support Awabakal language and culture, it operated from 2002-2008
In 2008 (ACRA) become the, Miromaa Aboriginal Language & Technology Centre (MALTC).

== A brief commercial message ==
=== Who gets credit for Audacity? ===
* Started by Dominic Mazzoni and Roger Dannenberg in the fall of 1999 at Carnegie Mellon University.<ref>http://www.audacityteam.org/about/credits/</ref>
* Currently 11 team members responsible for care and feeding (AKA development and support)
* Scores of people outside the core team volunteer time and energy to development, translation, and bug-fixes
* Audacity benefits from the work of countless others participating in projects on which the software depends for features
* I helped build Audacity and [http://www.audacityteam.org/community/ SO CAN YOU!] <ref>http://www.audacityteam.org/community/</ref>

=== How does Audacity get paid for? ===
*NOT by you! Software is free and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_model open source]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_model open source</ref>
*Development is done by volunteers (Translation: It's paid for through the time and expertise of generous people who expect nothing in return)
*[http://www.audacityteam.org/donate/ Donations] gladly accepted<ref>http://www.audacityteam.org/donate/ Donations</ref>
*Just enough [http://www.audacityteam.org/contact/advertising-and-monetization-opportunities/ advertising] is done to "keep the lights on" (e.g., pay for bandwidth; secure namespace)<ref>http://www.audacityteam.org/contact/advertising-and-monetization-opportunities</ref>

== The user experience ==
=== Who's using Audacity? ===
*NOT professional recording engineers - they're probably busy with [https://www.ableton.com/en/ Ableton] or its highly advanced ilk<ref>https://www.ableton.com/en/</ref>
*People who may have a limited budget but a wealth of... independent spirit!
*People who want to do basic recording and editing (e.g., Putting lyrics over instruments; Shortening a "raw" interview)
*People willing and able to "fiddle" with third-party add-ons (Read: "The more you want to do, the more computer-literate you must be")
*Hardcore DIY<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIY_ethic</ref> nerds who prefer to use Linux<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Linux</ref> and/or build their own features

=== What skills will I need? ===
A reasonable question to ask. And in some cases it's easily and objectively answered. This is not one of those cases, although it is possible to state generally that experience using software applications for audio, video or image editing will arm you with transferable skills.

In this case the question is akin to asking, "How long is a rope?"<ref>The answer is, "It depends, but probably longer than you imagine"</ref> The person being asked would try not to furrow her brow as she guided the one inquiring with probing questions of her own meant to reveal the more specific goals and requirements<ref>https://www.projectsmart.co.uk/requirements-gathering.php</ref> underlying the question.

But here's something slightly more tangible to consider:
*If you can install software on your own, you can probably record someone's voice and play it back
*If you can navigate online user communities<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Users'_group</ref>, and are willing to struggle, you can probably "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitrack_recording multi-track]" and use effects
*If you can answer questions for other users and point out problems, you can probably use advanced features and third party add-ons
*If you can build your own drivers and features, you can probably help improve the software as a volunteer developer<ref>http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audacity_Wiki_Home_Page#developers</ref>
*If that sounds daunting and/or the work is mission critical, reconsider DIY; you may wish to pay for software that comes with a support contract<ref>https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftservices/support.aspx example of a robust software support model provided by a major vendor allowing users access to experts</ref> or hire a technician

== Use case scenario for linguists: Translation ==

=== Plan the interview ===
# Identify your TO and FROM language
# Choose a word/phrase for translation
# Identify a willing victim... participant... interviewee... you get the idea

=== Obtain the audio ===
# Sit with the interviewee and begin recording (Any device will do, but we'll assume it's your smartphone)
# Ask them to translate the word/phrase you've chosen FROM language x TO language y
# Explore common uses of the word and/or probe for the nuances that literal translation misses
# Stop recording when you have 2 to 4 minutes of content

=== Play with the software ===
Tip: Anything in bold and italic below is language used by Audacity in the software, and it is central to achieving what is described (REMINDER: A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STRUGGLE IS INHERENT IN DIY LEARNING)
# Find the '''''import''''' function - move your recording into Audacity
# Choose a name for the project - '''''save project as''''' that name in a deliberate location
# '''''Play''''' the raw clip and YOU DECIDE on key information - '''''select''''' and '''''duplicate''''' those pieces
# Find the '''''name''''' function - change the name of each duplicated audio clip
# Place tracks in desired sequence - locate '''''move track up''''' (or down) to achieve this
# Remove unwanted empty space - '''''select''''' and '''''cut''''' are used for this purpose
# Record a track explaining what your audience heard in the appropriate place - find and use '''''add new''''' for this
# Create [http://wiki.ubc.ca/File:To_Finish_-_Japanese.mp3 an MP3] containing what you want that flows logically - '''''export audio''''' is required (Caution: Don't forget to '''''mute''''' the raw/master track)
# Say "Tada!" out loud
# Look for [http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_editing_an_existing_file.html tutorials provided by Audacity] that may align with your scenario<ref>http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorials.html</ref>

=The Ojibwe People's Dictionary=

==Lexicography Tool==

The dictionary is an online resource <ref>http://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/</ref> that allows for users to query the Ojibwe /oʊˈdʒiːbweɪ/ <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ojibwe_language</ref> language, which can be done so by either searching in English or Ojibwe. It is a talking dictionary meaning audio clips of Ojibwe speakers are included on the website.

==Creators==

Linguist and professor at the University of Minnesota, Dr. John D. Nichols created the online dictionary.
The dictionary was created with the help of faculty and staff at the university, headed by the Department of American Indian Studies <ref>http://cla.umn.edu/ais</ref>, and University Libraries <ref>https://www.lib.umn.edu/</ref>.

==Funding==

Initial support for the project was headed by the Legacy Amendment in Minnesota which allowed for the Ojibwe People's Dictionary to commence its development.

From there on out, the Ojibwe People's Dictionary has been supported through a variety of grants. Some examples being the from the National Science Foundation with Grant No. BCS-0553716, Historic Resources Advisory Committee, Minnesota Indian Affairs Council.

Since 2015, further support from nearby institutions has forged partnerships. These are notably Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and Ojibwemotaadidaa Omaa Gidakiiminaang.<ref> http://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/content/project-sponsors</ref>

==Intended Audience==

The dictionary is a basic introduction to the Ojibwe language. The language is spoken in Canada as well as the United States, however since it was created and maintained by the University of Minnesota staff and faculty, its roots are in the dialects pertaining to the Great Lakes region in the U.S.

Ojibwe is considered an endangered language, and in the past the older members of the community have not taught it to their children. This has led the language to be considered "severely endangered" and resources such as the Ojibwe People's Dictionary aim to increase the number of langauge speakers in present generations to avoid complete language loss. <ref>http://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/why-we-need-ojibwe-peoples-dictionary</ref>

==Orthography==

For Ojibwe, the orthography used is the Double Vowel alphabet. All included letters are: a, aa, b, ch, d, e, g, h, ’, i, ii, j, k, m, n, o, oo, p, s, sh, t, w, y, z, zh <ref>http://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/about-ojibwe-language</ref>
An example of an Ojibwe word is aagim - 'snowshoe'. "aa" has the English equivalent sound of the "a" in "father."
