Jarai Lexicons

  • Headley, Robert K., Jr. (1965), A dictionary of the Jarai language, Washington, DC
This lexicon is largely a compilation from other sources of Jarai vocabulary.
  • Lafont, Pierre-Bernard (1968), Lexique Français-Jarai-Viêtnamien: (parler de la Province de Plei Ku), Paris: École Francçaise D’extrême-Orient
Lafont's lexicon is organized by the French words, with Jarai and Vietnamese glosses given for each entry. This lexicon appears to be fairly complete, though Lafont's research was criticized by Jacques Dournes. It includes a very brief description of Jarai speech sounds and grammar (in French).
  • Leuz, Christopher; Eugene Evans & Cleo Evans et al. (1976), Jơrai dictionary: Jơrai-Vietnamese-English: (a computer printout), Huntington Beach, CA: Summer Institute of Linguistics
As the title indicates, this lexicon was never more than a computer printout (still available as Vietnam Data Microfiche Series No. VD 55-73). Entries are alphabetized by the Jarai word. There are 8857 numbered lexical entries.
  • Nicolle, R. (1940), Lexique Français-Jaray et Jaray-Français, Hanoi: Imprimerie G. Taupin & Cie
Apparently the first published Jarai lexicon, Nicolle's work is seldom cited. In the first part, entries are alphabetical by French, and in the second by Jarai.
  • Tín, Phạm Xuân (1955), Đa-ngữ tiểu từ-điển (lexique polyglotte), Dran: Hội-thánh Tin-lành
This lexicon is cited more often than Lafont, probably because it predates it and also because it was used by Lee. Entries are alphabetized by the Vietnamese words, with Jarai, Chru, and French glosses. A short description of grammar is given at the end of the Lexicon (in French); it appears to cover more features of Jarai than Lafont's grammar section.
