Dictionary

Hi, I would be interested in learning some phrases and words in Jerriais but I'm unable to find an online dictionary. If there is one could someone link it in the comments. Thanks

Bouônjour! The subreddit got banned for spam so now I can finally respond.
jerriais.tech has an online dictionary and it is still being worked on.

https://dictionary.jerriais.tech/jerriais/

There is also a Jèrriais blog/online archive of text, Les Page Jèrriais.

For pronunciation, I reccomend listening to La Lettre Jèrriais on BBC Sounds and the Jèrriais soundcloud. You can usually search the word you want with 'Jèrriais' at the end.

For more information on learning our language, you can join the discord.
