NUER-ENGLISH DICTIONARY by Fr. J. KIGGEN remains the most comprehensive dictionary of Thok Nath or the Nuer language ever created.  Encompassing some 9,000 Nuer word entries, Kiggen’s unparalleled tome also offers readers a thorough yet concise grammatical analysis of this widely spoken language in northeastern South Sudan and southwestern Ethiopia, which is a member of the “western Nilotic” family of African languages, also known as “Jii-languages.” After having fallen out-of-print and all but lost to the public for 75 years, Kiggen’s Nuer-English Dictionary has now been expanded, republished and printed as an affordable paperback. Unlike several Nuer-English lexicons that have appeared over the decades, Kiggen’s 346-page volume is richly detailed. Each Nuer noun included lists its singular and plural forms in three different cases. Every Nuer verb is conjugated in five forms—all of them essential for clear communication and accurate pronunciation. The 2023 edition of Kiggen’s outstanding work of linguistic scholarship adds an editor’s foreword which describes the dictionary’s unique strengths as well as some quirks in alphabetization. The new 2023 edition of Kiggen’s, ground-breaking, Nuer-English Dictionary has been printed as a study yet highly affordable paperback. It will become an indispensable reference work for Nuer speakers and would-be Nuer speakers around the globe, more and more of whom are endeavoring to ensure that Thok Nath will remain a vibrant language and cultural resource for many generations to come. As a key reference work supporting the preservation of a major east African language, this important publication will prove of great value not only for individuals but, also, for leading university libraries and educational institutions of many varieties, including local community libraries, high school institutions, relief operations and church organizations that support significant Nuer (Naath) refugee populations now residing in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and beyond.
