English to Bajoran Dictionary

 
Below is a dictionary of the Bajoran language.  The dictionary contains all canon and semi-canon terms as well as many non-canon words.

This dictionary, as far as I know, was compiled by and obtained from Kel Dasha and Dishal Entara (possible pseudonyms).

The site disappeared with Geocities years ago, but I have a copy of their dictionary for you here.

I make no claims for the validity of the translations, should you happen upon a Bajoran and try to speak to him or her.
