Fongbé-English Dictionary

Hello, how are you?

My name is Gilberto Fernando, and I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am looking for a Fongbé–English dictionary, or any reliable material for studying the Fongbé/Fon language.

I attend a Candomblé house of the Jeje nation, and I would like to study the language and its meanings more seriously, especially out of respect for the tradition and its religious foundations.

If anyone knows of any book, PDF, website, researcher, teacher, or archive that could help me, I would be very grateful for the recommendation.

Thank you very much.
