Description: "...TAI Dictionary originally found in Mu-Se, Northern Shan State, it all started when Ven Seng Murng Acchariya was teaching English to students around Myanmar. To improve learners skill, he searched for dictionaries which were based on Tai(Shan), however, could not find any of it. Since then, he talked to Ven Pannyasiri (the publisher of English - Tai Dictionary) to use his book as references. Then with the help of Sangha of Mahavon Temple, Muse (for re-typing the dictionary) and iTSTAR Software Development Co.Ltd, it started with the name Mahavon Foundation Dictionary. The first online dictionary and apps were released on 20.March.2013 as for a memorable event for the Birthday of Ven Seng Murng Acchariya. However, due to some reason in 2015, Mahavon Foundation Dictionary has been stopped and changed its name to TAI Dictionary. As TAI Dictionary is working for non-profit, we now work continuously with the help of donors from around Shan State and sometimes from abroad...."
