Language

The site brings together 13 major Chinese-language
dictionaries on the web and allows you to quickly and
conveniently search them all in one place. Many of the
Chinese dictionaries on the web are interlinked at a
character-to-character level, allowing visitors to jump
across dictionaries to check the same character entry
without having to search again for the character. Find a
character in any of the 13 dictionaries and you can follow
the blue links, jumping between more than a dozen
dictionaries spread across seven countries and four
continents.

The character dictionary gives four different ways to search
for characters, including English Look-up, Pinyin Look-up
(Tone number at the end of the pinyin is optional),
Cantonese Look-up (Type in a Cantonese string using the Yale
romanization system. Tone number is required), and
radical/stroke Look-up.

Formosa is a digital library hosted by Reed College of
Portland, Oregon that specializes in gathering early images,
maps, and texts on the island of Taiwan, which was called
\Formosa\ by foreign visitors in the 19th Century. Scholars
can even find a small sampling of primary linguistic data on
various aboriginal languages collected by early explorers.
Primary source data like this were originally published in
European and North American books and journals during the
19th Century, but have since become hard to access with the
passage of time.
