The database offers access to over 6 million dialectal linguistic evidences of the project "Dictionary of Bavarian Dialects" (German: Das Bayerische Wörterbuch) as image snippets, partly and forthgoing lemmatized.
The area covered by the Dictionary of Bavarian Dialects (Bayerisches Wörterbuch) comprises Upper Bavaria, Lower Bavaria, the Upper Palatinate and neighbouring regions of Bavarian Swabia, Middle Franconia and Upper Franconia. Over and above the vernaculars spoken today, Bavaria’s literary tradition since its beginnings in the 8th century is also taken into account.
Starting in 1913, language material was collected from all Bavarian-speaking regions in Bavaria. Questionnaires were sent out to local informants throughout Bavaria, and contemporary and historical literary sources were excerpted. Today the collection comprises around nine million dialect examples. With the exception of the “Wörterlisten” (word lists), which can be digitally searched and edited, this material consists of index cards, to which corresponding standard German or quasi-standard German keywords have been added, filed alphabetically (see link below for more information).

Historical dictionary of the Scottish language as written and spoken by lowland Scots in Scotland and Ulster from the 12th century onward. Over eighty thousand full-word entries.
In the Middle Ages, Old Occitan (formerly "Old Provençal"), the language of the troubadours, was a literary and cultural language, the influence of which extended far beyond the frontiers of Southern France.
The only comprehensive portrayal of the Old Occitan vocabulary to have appeared up to now is the "Lexique roman" by François Raynouard (6 vols., 1836–1845). It was supplemented by Emil Levy’s "Provenzalisches Supplementwörterbuch" (8 vols., 1894–1924). An updated dictionary, taking account of progress in research over the last 100 years, has been the desideratum of literary scholars, linguists, and historians ever since.
Under the direction of Wolf-Dieter Stempel, the publication of a new dictionary of Old Occitan, the "Dictionnaire de l'occitan médiéval (DOM)", began in 1996. This appeared in print until 2013, directed from 2012 on by Maria Selig. Since then it has been available as an alphabetically complete digital dictionary, the "DOM en ligne". This comprises the newly written articles of the DOM together with the articles from the dictionaries of Raynouard and Levy for those parts of the alphabet not yet covered by the new work and is enriched by entries for words absent till now from Old Occitan lexicography.
