This is not only a bi lingual dictionary but the definitive tome on
the Pushtu language. The 828 page dictionary is a blockbuster, that
can be used by beginners and advanced users alike. The dictionary
is in the Arabic and English script. Users who have not learned the
Arabic script should consider the Romanized Pushtu Dictionary by
Ghayan Chand also published by Simon Wallenberg Press and listed in
Amazon. This dictionary was complied by Noor Mohammed Taraki and
others at the Pashto Academy Kabul under the direction of the
Academy's director general Abdur Raof Benawa. The team, at the
forefront of language research, focused on Pashto as it is used
today, their work became the largest language research project by
the Academy. Over 828 pages of definitions in large format were
compiled over years. The end result of the project was the
publication of the most comprehensive bi lingual dictionary of the
Pashto language. Later Taraki became president of Afghanistan and
introduced Marxist reforms. This great dictionary sadly went out of
print during the subsequent Afghan wars. With the appointment of
Hamid Karzai as the new president along with democratic government
the dictionary has now been published in its new updated format.

language" TELEGRAPH ONLINE "This dictionary has enough information
