James Rementer and Bruce Pearson helped the Delaware Tribe of Indians of Bartlesville, Oklahoma create a lexical database of the Lenape or Delaware Indian language. Lenape is an eastern Algonquian language historically spoken in southeastern New York State, all of New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and the northern part of the State of Delaware. Many place names in the eastern United States originate from this language, e.g. Manhattan. In this sense, the Lenape language is part of the heritage of the Lenape people and also the wider US English-speaking community. Work on the Lenape Language Database Project began in 1997 and was supported by funding from the National Science Foundation. The database in its current form includes 15,460 single-word entries with sound files, 22 linguistically analyzed narratives and 4 hymns. The current project, Lenape Language Online Dictionary Project, will add data from lists of Lenape words collected between the 1600s and 1800s. This addition will allow for commentary on Lenape historical lexical development. The computational sophistication of the search parameters will be developed so that grammatical information will be linked to words to provide semantic and grammatical context to the lexical entries. Consultants on the project include Delaware tribal member and professor of German, Dr. Grant Leneaux and author and expert on early materials on the Lenape, Raymond Whritenour. The resulting products will create a link betwtee the Lenape community and their heritage language.

詹姆斯·雷蒙特和布鲁斯·皮尔森帮助俄克拉荷马州巴特尔斯维尔的特拉华州印第安人部落创建了一个莱纳佩语或特拉华州印第安语的词汇数据库。 勒纳佩语（Lenape）是一种东部阿尔冈琴语系语言，历史上在纽约州东南部、整个新泽西、宾夕法尼亚州东部和特拉华州的北方地区使用。美国东部的许多地名都源于这种语言，例如曼哈顿。从这个意义上说，Lenape语言是Lenape人和更广泛的美国英语社区遗产的一部分。 Lenape语言数据库项目的工作始于1997年，由国家科学基金会资助。 目前形式的数据库包括15 460个带有声音文件的单字条目、22个经过语言分析的叙述和4首赞美诗。 目前的项目，Lenape语言在线词典项目，将从17世纪和19世纪之间收集的Lenape单词列表中添加数据。 这一增加将允许对Lenape历史词汇发展的评论。将开发搜索参数的计算复杂性，以便将语法信息与单词联系起来，为词汇条目提供语义和语法上下文。该项目的顾问包括特拉华州部落成员和德语教授格兰特·莱诺博士以及关于莱纳普人早期材料的作者和专家雷蒙德·维特努尔。 由此产生的产品将在Lenape社区和他们的传统语言之间建立联系。
