An interactive web portal showcasing Lamjung Yolmo culture and lingual lexicon A
Linguists estimate that there are around 7,106 languages around the world [1], but nearly 2000 of them have less than 1000 speakers. Professionals predict that by 2100, about 60–90% of those will have become extinct. [2] Over half the world’s languages lack a literary tradition as those languages fa...

| description | Linguists estimate that there are around 7,106 languages around the world [1], but nearly 2000 of them have less than 1000 speakers. Professionals predict that by 2100, about 60–90% of those will have become extinct. [2] Over half the world’s languages lack a literary tradition as those languages fail to use, we lose important sources of data that contribute to our understanding of human language. [3] The object of this project is to create an interactive web portal showcasing Lamjung Yolmo culture and lingual lexicon, in order to promote Lamjung Yolmo’s language, folktales and customs to the world, and to display the lexicon for linguists and related researchers. The project is constructed in two parts: a web-based game and online lexical archive for English-Lamjung Yolmo-Nepali dictionary with additional functionalities, which are developed by two students. The report author works on the website, which allows users to search words in three languages: English, Lamjung Yolmo and Nepali and register as members to mark up and save words. This report expatiates the lifecycle of web design and development. The user interface design principles are applied throughout the design process. Suitable approaches of web implementation are introduced. Testing scenarios are also analyzed. At the end of the report, the limitations of the project and future enhancement recommendations are presented. |
