The current dictionary is structured primarily as a visualised browsing interface with historical infographical overviews – not alphabetically or as text.
The thousands of words listed under Categories are treated in extensive detail in the searchable, fulltext edition of the online Dictionary of South African English on Historical Principles (DSAE). It offers in-depth coverage of word meanings, pronunciation, etymologies, variant spelling and plural forms, accessible via advanced navigation and filtering features. Links from visualisations in this dictionary to additional resources in the Text Edition are preceded by the symbol: .
