==Delaporte's Nauruan dictionary== In 1907, [[Philip Delaporte]] published his pocket German-Nauruan [[dictionary]]. [http://www.trussel.com/kir/naudel.htm] The dictionary is small (10.5 Γ 14 cm), with 65 pages devoted to the glossary and an additional dozen to phrases, arranged alphabetically by the [[German language|German]]. Approximately 1650 German words are [[gloss (transliteration)|gloss]]ed in Nauruan, often by phrases or synonymous forms. There are some 1300 'unique' Nauruan forms in the glosses, including all those occurring in phrases, ignoring [[diacritical]] marks. The accents used there are not common; just one accent (the [[tilde]]) is in use today.
