New Kadazan Dictionary

The first Kadazan Dictionary was prepared by Antonissen, a Catholic priest who spent the major part of his priestly life in North Borneo (now Sabah).

It was re-printed at least once due to demand.

Now, copies of a new version of this Kadazan Dictionary is available mainly as the result of the efforts of the Kadazan Society Sabah (KSS). This new version has five sections. The additions are -
a) 24 pages of illustrations, and
b) Bahasa Malaysia (Malay) - Kadazan Section
