Irish and Other Dictionaries

Not to ignore our Q-Celtic cousins, the following site http://www.ceantar.org/Dicts/ contains links to a number of Gaelic dictionaries--Irish, Manx and Scottish. Incidentally, most Irish people call their language Irish, not Gaelic.

For our P-Celt brothers and sisters, I have been able to find the following:

Gildas Perrot's Breton Dictionary
Breton-French-English online dictionary. Entries available for search and download. Interface in three languages.

Alternative Breton Dictionary
Collection of Breton profanity and slang words.

For Cornish:-

and a link to a published Cornish dictionary, with some online material:-

Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru (University of Wales Dictionary)

The University of Wales Dictionary was begun in 1921 and finally completed in 2002. The site has a good deal of information on it.

"A reading program was established in 1921 at the National Library of Wales with a small team of salaried staff and the Rev. J. Bodvan Anwyl as Secretary, who organized a host of voluntary readers. Editorial work commenced during the 1948/9 session under the editorship of R. J. Thomas, and the Dictionary was published in 64-page parts. By 1967 Parts 1–21 had been published and these were bound as Volume I (a–ffysur). Between 1968 and 1987 Parts 22–36 (g–llyys) were published and were bound in 1987 as Volume II, under the editorship of Gareth A. Bevan. Between 1987 and 1998 Parts 37–50 (m–rhywyr) were published and were bound in 1998 as Volume III, under the joint editorship of Gareth A. Bevan and Patrick J. Donovan. On 6 December 2001 the final draft entry for the Dictionary was written after 80 years' labour, and over half a century of drafting entries. The last word in the Dictionary is Zwinglïaidd, 'Zwinglian (adj.)'. The final volume was published in December 2002 and launched at the Welsh Assembly by the First Minister, Rhodri Morgan, A.M. "

I remember seeing some of the individual parts for sale at a library sale in London for about 50p each. Unfortunately, I didn't buy them.But now the entire dictionary, minus citations, is available for download as a PDF. There is also talk of a CD-ROM version. The dictionary is already being revised and "Since Welsh is very much a living language, the Dictionary will need constant revision by adding new words and meanings and all contributions will be greatly appreciated."
