The Memoni Living Dictionary was developed by Memoni speaker Aleena Yousuf, who provides the description below:

Overview
The Memoni People are a reputable community of businessmen, merchants, and philanthropists, known for their honesty, hard work, and commercial success. The origins of our community dates back to 824 CE when ~700  families, representing some 6187 people belonging to the Lohana community of Sindh, accepted Islam and 
earned the name Mu’min (believes). 

Due to their mercantile nature, Memons began a significant migration across and beyond the borders of Burma in the 18th and 19th centuries. This led to communities developing in the Central + East Asia, South Africa, and the Middle East. However, the most significant migration came with the creation of Pakistan in 1947. 

Memons across borders were now separated from their ancestral birth places. With geographic location no longer serving as a binding force of the community, our spoken language is the only indication of our distinct ethnic group. Since I strongly feel that the development of our oral tradition into a scripted language is essential for preserving our Memon identity, I want to create a site containing the first recorded dictionary of the Memoni language, to document our culture. 

Note: Every language has an established grammar to enable an unfamiliar person the ability to learn. Unfortunately, Memoni is not a written language; it is a boli (an oral language). Now that we have started to convert our boli into a written language, we have to develop an understanding of basic principles of grammar. In order to do this, I will use the Roman script to represent Memoni. The Roman script is an international script, compared to the Urdu script, and is, in my view, more accessible.
