Technology has created the potential for 'talking' dictionaries which have become very valuable resources to the study of indigenous languages. The Lenape (Delaware) talking dictionary was first presented online in 2006. There are currently over 14,000 words of which 5,525 have single word sound files. There are over 1,400 sentence sound filed. The current project extends work on this database by increasing the entries, specifically incorporating text files, which include stories and conversations with detailed morpheme-by-morpheme glosses, and improving the display and functionality of the existing language database funded initially under NSF #0214422.Since the death of the last native speaker in 2002, the website with its database and talking dictionary is the only link connecting Lenape people to their ancestral language. Moreover, given the significance of Lenape (Delaware) in the Algonquian language family, the linguistic analyses presented by the website constitute a useful reference and model for the scholarly community.

技术为“会说话”的词典创造了潜力，这些词典已成为研究土著语言的非常宝贵的资源。莱纳普（特拉华州）有声词典于2006年首次在网上发布。目前有超过14，000个单词，其中5，525个单词有单个单词的声音文件。 有超过1，400个句子的声音存档。目前的项目通过增加条目来扩展这个数据库的工作，特别是合并文本文件，其中包括具有详细的词素的词素注释的故事和对话，并改进最初在NSF #0214422下资助的现有语言数据库的显示和功能。该网站及其数据库和有声词典是连接Lenape人与其祖先语言的唯一纽带。此外，鉴于Lenape（特拉华州）在阿尔冈琴语系中的重要性，该网站提供的语言分析为学术界提供了有用的参考和模型。
