Project Pali-Myanmar Dictionary to English

There is a precious Pali-Myanmar dictionary developed at the Sixth Buddhist Council. This dictionary contains all Pali words found in the Pali texts, commentaries and subcommentaries. This dictionary contains right now 153,000 words published in 21 volumes. Some more words will be added and the final version is expected to have 168,000 words. The current PTS dictionary developed more than 50 years ago has about 16,000 words and the Concise Pali English dictionary has about 22,000 words. One could see the big gap and the huge benefits to convert this Pali-Myanmar dictionary into English.
