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; Tâi-lô: Tâi-uân Bân-lâm-gí Siông-iōng Sû-sî-tián Phian-tsip Sió-tsoo) 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]
