New Mnong dictionary

The VietNamNet Bridge reports that the Mnong language of the Mnong ethnic minority is going to have 700 million Vietnamese Dong (about GBP25,500) spent on it by the Dak Nong People's Committee of the Central Highlands. The money will be spent on carrying out surveys to produce a standard for a script, plus creating a Mnong-Vietnamese dictionary. The project is due for completion in late 2007.

Mnong is one of the Bahnaric languages spoken by tribespeople of Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam, where there are 86 languages currently spoken
