(Murphy & Goff, 1037) "Our principal aim in the compilation of this dictionary has been to record Shona words in Standard Shona spelling. It has been our aim also to provide, by means of the generous number of examples of the use of words, illustrations of the application of the principles of word-division on which Standard Spelling is based. A third aim has been to provide as complete a list as could be made, in the time and with the facilities at our disposal, of the words used in the speech of those whose particular dialect of Shona is roughly labelled as chiKaranga, chiKorekore, chiManyika or chiZezuru and to give equivalent English meanings of these words, together with variants and synonyms within the same as well as in other dialects of Shona."
