From the original 1078 individual Mando'a words created by Karen Traviss, (and 53 scattered throughout other canon sources) Joha'miitbin has expanded this to nearly quadruple that amount, and is still growing! Joha'miitbin's ongoing goal is to archive as many fanon words as possible from across the web and compile it together in a single, comprehensive resource. Some definitions have been slightly tweaked in the case of synonyms, so that they are often used in slightly different circumstances.

The name Joha'miitbin is an original word meaning "dictionary". It comes from the canon word joha, meaning "language" and the fanon word miit'bin, meaning "book".

To reiterate, Joha'miitbin is a fanon archive, and does not follow "pure canon" as other archives might. Several liberties have been and will continue to be made to adapt Mando'a for use in fanon contexts.

What's New?

We have also switched to using IPA for our pronunciations. Reading them can be a little daunting at first, but this may be helpful to English speakers unfamiliar with the format.

Our dictionary now also includes Mando'a script in each entry. Some entries also have small notes. Look out for this symbol: ★!

The majority of our new words are due to:

• The addition of Tuuri's dictionary.
• Over 200 original words related to several subjects, but mostly about the sciences.
• Several more fanon words from tumblr, including active users such as ranahan.

We also have a handful of new pages:

• Vhekaj: The galaxy far far away according to Mando'ade.
• Jor'miite: We recently updated our custom font and made a small page about it.
