Tuvaluan Swadesh list on Wiktionary
Glosbe dictionary en-tvl Note: Most words are taken from Wiktionary. Note 2: Some words are vandalised, like the numerals "2" and "3".
Freelang dictionary by Renato B.F Note: I recommend using Glosbe instead because Freelang's dictionary contain more sentences than words, so there are few words and a lot of sentences.
Books[edit | edit source]
Tuvaluan Dictionary: Tuvaluan-English & English-Tuvaluan - Geoffrey Jackson, 2001.
