aust'nne, there is an Igbo-English dictionary by Prof. Michael Echeruo which is available on amazon.com

Hmmm, Igbo dialects! That ones hard sha..esp those thicks ohafia/abariba dialects!
Thanks Ogonna  I've actually seen one from one Nicholas and Nnaji..I had one dictionary in Naija those days but my biggest and best dictionary was the Igbo bible. I have to say that its very very complicated yet interesting to read..esp Songs of Solomon.  I cant wait to get hold of some of the igbo literatures esp some of the good time old books!
