The first Maltese online dictionary should be up and running in two years’ time after an agreement was signed between the Education Ministry and the university last week. The project would be “a living monument” to the Maltese language, Education Minister Dolores Cristina said.

The basis of the online dictionary will be the iconic and widely popular red-bound volumes written by Professor Ġuże Aquilina. The ministry is contributing €80,000 to the project, which will be led by author and head of Maltese at University Manwel Mifsud.
