This enquiry is on behalf of a colleague who is completing a PhD on
women's history in Tanzania. She is having difficulty with dated
English-Swahili/Swahili-English dictionaries [notably those based on
Madan]. I have located on the network various other more recent
dictionaries, and also recall some time ago reference on various internet
groups to a Swahili Dictionary Project - I guess still in progress. Can
anyone recommend a really up-to-date, competent dictionary?
