The study also uses manually prepared morphological analysis for Kësëtaniña language for wordlists which are found in the dictionay since it is dificult to add all possible word forms in the dictionary The prototype is developed using a sample wordlist of 2000 Kësëtaniña wordlist with illustrations with multimedia file and usage examples of the wordlists. We have tested it for its functionality and usability through questionnaire distributed to 30 different people who are native speakers and who are not speakers of the language. Data obtained from the respondents revails that the overall system is relevant and more than 85% of the respondent provide positive aspects of the system as a comment which supports the useability and shows that the overall system is useable and important. The results have shown that the online dictionary system evaluation result has good reflection, to save searching time that make simpler than using paper based dictionary. It is easy to use and secure. It is also seen that from the evaluation, the system in general can address the problems of language revitalization through documenting the Kësëtaniña language.
