Yurakaré dictionary project (Bolivia)

Language: Yurakaré
Glottocode: yura1255

This project, led by Julen Villarreal Moreno, aimed at finishing a 5000-entry dictionary in the Yurakaré language (glottocode: yura1255), a severely endangered language isolate of Bolivia, spoken by about 1’000 people. The Yurakaré dictionary was improved, checked, and prepared for publication with the collaboration of members of the Yurakaré community and the supervision of a team of experts including Rik van Gijn and Vincent Hirtzel.
