The Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwanese Taigi (Chinese: 臺灣台語常用詞辭典; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân Tâi-gí Siông-iōng-sû Sû-tián) is a dictionary of Taiwanese Hokkien (also known as Taigi, including Written Hokkien) commissioned by the Ministry of Education of Taiwan.[1] As of 2023, the dictionary included 25,000 entries, which includes 3,000 monosyllabic characters and 2,000 appendix entries, and more than 4,000 words common to Taiwanese and Chinese.[2]

In September 2000, initial plans to commission the dictionary were put forth by the National Languages Committee of the Ministry of Education. In July 2001, the Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan Editorial Committee (Chinese: 臺灣閩南語常用詞辭典編輯小組; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân Bân-lâm-gí Siông-iōng Sû-sî-tián Phian-chip Sió-cho͘) was established.[3]

In October 2008, a beta version of the dictionary was released. On 7 July 2011, the first approved edition of the dictionary was released.[3][4]

The dictionary is continuously updated by the Editorial Committee, and these updates are financially supported by the Ministry.[1][4] On 1 June 2020, Flash was retired in favor of HTML audio for the audio samples.[4] On 13 June 2023, a revision of the website was released, featuring enhanced web accessibility, a redesigned bilingual (Taigi and Mandarin) user interface, the addition of voice input queries, and a new domain name.[5][6]
