## Tongan Description
C. Maxwell Churchward&#039;s Tongan-English Dictionary, for iPhone and iPad.

The most complete digital record of the Tongan language: 37,428 entries and more than 43,000 definitions, hand-transcribed from Churchward&#039;s 1959 dictionary and searchable in both directions.

Whether you grew up hearing Tongan at home and want to understand more of it, or you&#039;re learning the language for the first time, it&#039;s here whenever you need it.

SEARCH THE WAY YOU SPEAK
Macrons and glottal stops are awkward to type on a phone, so you never have to. Type &quot;faele&quot; and the app finds &quot;fa&#039;ele&quot;. Search Tongan to find the English, or English to find the Tongan — same box, both directions. And when the word itself escapes you, describe it: the app searches inside every definition, not just the headwords.

FOLLOW THE LANGUAGE
More than 63,000 cross-references are tappable. Jump from one entry to a related term and back again without ever losing your place.

ROOM TO READ
On iPhone you get one word at a time, full width. On iPad the word list sits beside the definition, so following a cross-reference never costs you your spot in the list. Light, dark and system themes, plus a choice of app icons.

WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE
The entire dictionary lives on your device. No account, no connection required — on a plane, in the islands, or anywhere the signal runs out.

A LIVING TRANSCRIPTION
Every entry was transcribed by hand from the printed dictionary, and that work is ongoing. Corrections and refinements ship regularly, and you can report a mistake from the bottom of any entry.

## Tongan Reviews in Neuseeland

### ****- "Easy to use, with some issues"
Great adaptation of the dictionary into app form. Quite a few times though I have searched a word that I know is in the dictionary but because of a spelling mistake within the word it does not appear in the search results. I then have to manually locate it by scrolling through alphabetically until I find it and discover the issue. Still wonderful and convenient but could do with an editor going through to make the necessary corrections

### ***** "Great app"
Worthwhile addition &amp; well worth the money. 

Exactly what I was looking for. 

Easy to navigate and find exactly what you’re looking for.
