Contemporary English-Ilokano Dictionary by Aurelio Solver Agcaoili (CAS Publishing 2011) This bilingual contemporary English-Ilokano Dictionary makes use of the pre-category approach. It covers more than 18,000 entries and is one of the most comprehensive dictionaries ever prepared on the Ilokano language since 1620 when, in the Lopez translation of Bellarmine's Doctrina Cristiana, the Ilokano language was first printed in its Romanized form, alongside the old Ilokano form of writing, the kur-itan. This dictionary is very timely, especially with the return of mother language in basic education classrooms in the Philippines and resources for instruction are necessary. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili is the Program Coordinator of Ilokano of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. The program is the only academic program in the world that offers a bachelor's degree in the arts with a focus on studies on Ilokano language and literature. Aside from various books on poetics, criticism, and translation, Dr. Agcaoili has also written plays, essays, and fiction. He writes in Ilokano, English, and Tagalog. Published and distributed by Cornerstone of Arts and Sciences Publishing, Quezon City, Philippines.
