Description:
The Oxford English-Urdu Dictionary is the bilingual edition of The Concise Oxford Dictionary, which is the world's most authoritative lexicon. In order to understand English, there is no better document than The Oxford English-Urdu Dictionary, the fruit of many long years of labour.
1. Offers Urdu equivalents of almost 125,000 English words and expressions. All the words and their definitions have been included after careful research and scrutiny.
2. The most familiar meaning of a word is given first, followed by its secondary, technical, colloquial, idiomatic, historical, and archaic senses.
3. Ambiguities of grammar and usage have been addressed by providing particularly clear and simple explanations, wherever they occur.
4. Punctuation marks, as used in British English to separate strands of meaning, and to make the overall meaning of a passage clear, have been explained in detail in a separate note at the beginning of the dictionary.
5. Illustrative sentences with their Urdu translations are a distinctive feature of this dictionary. They convey the exact meaning of the word or idiom, and provide clear guidance on how to use it.
6. Ambiguities about pronunciation of English words have been removed by providing the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for guidance on pronunciation. The symbols for the IPA and their values are given at the bottom of each page. A note explaining these symbols is given at the beginning of the book.
