A new dictionary aims to boost the language and pride of Cabo Verdeans

From the Oxford English to the Merriam-Webster, English language dictionaries are well established in the U.S.

But the effort to create dictionaries of indigenous languages is growing, including a new one capturing Cape Verdean Creole.

A local publisher is documenting the common tongue of the West African nation — and of many Greater Boston immigrants — in an English to Cape Verdean dictionary to be published later this year.
