Dictionary development is one of the important parts of the language development work. Having a dictionary in a language community is something that shows the language has been stored in a document with certain rules of arrangement. Spelling, sound, order, lexicon, and orthographical issues already come into discussion during the attempt at dictionary production. All of these efforts indicate that the language is an important resource of the community.
We start with the process of glossary development before we complete the product as a dictionary. The Rapid Word Collection (RWC) method is utilized to develop the glossary. This further moves on to the dictionary task. Language is stored in a database due to the effort of working on dictionary development. Android software in the dictionary development process has also opened a new avenue for utilizing the language electronically beyond the border.
