Abstract:

Emberá is a Central American Indian Language belonging to the Chocogrouping. It is Spoken in Panama, Colombia and Ecuador in unequalproportions. This study is based on the Emberá dialect spoken in Panama.Though the statistics vary, the number of native speakers is no more thansixty thousand. In Panama, the number of speakers is no more than twentythousand. There are no studies in English on Emberá, and very few inSpanish.

This dictionary is based on information and elicitations from the nativespeaker Mr. Daniel Castañeda. This is the first attempt at a collection ofthe basic lexical items of the language, and it is first in English andSpanish. Mr. Castañeda is a bilingual speaker of Spanish and Emberá, withlimited fluency in English. All elicitations were done through the mediumof Spanish at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. while he wasresiding in the area. For ease of use the dictionary is multi-directional,i.e. Emberá-Spanish-English and Spanish-Emberá-English. Even though thisdialect differs from Chamí dialect, this dictionary can serve as acompanion to the grammar of Emberá by D.A. Licht, also published by LINCOMEUROPA.
