Pattani Malay is a minority language spoken by ethnic Malays in southernmost provinces of Thailand, and it plays a strategically and politically crucial role in municipal governance in the area. This paper presents the development of a multimodal Pattani Malay-Thai corpus and its application to an audible electronic phrasebook for military purposes. The bilingual corpus contains 10,000 parallel sentences and sound recordings in both languages. A mobile application based on Android platform is developed on top of the corpus and offers the search engine for on-field usage and reconnoiters, as well as language lessons for military personnels
