Numerous times when I'm listening to some Punjabi songs, whether new or old, there are some words I simply do not know the meaning of, at all. And googling them doesn't help either, since many of the songs don't have their lyrics available online, neither can I find a punjabi dictionary.
Recent studies suggest that children should begin learning a foreign language before age 10 for best results. This dictionary is a fun, engaging way for parents or grandparents to introduce Punjabi to young children. Teachers will also find the dictionary useful for students who are learning Punjabi or English from Kindergarten and up.
This
dictionary's two-way format makes it useful for both English and Punjabi speakers.
Each entry includes Punjabi (Gurmukhi) script as well Romanization (common
sense phonetic pronunciation) for English speakers. Punjabi ELL
(English-Language Learner) students can look up the meaning of English words
they don't recognize, and also translate their thoughts and writing in Punjabi
to English using this dictionary.
This dictionary contains more than 24,000 entries, related phrases, idioms, derivatives and words with irregular forms, and more than 200 illustrations. Like our other Bilingual Dictionaries, this has been specially compiled for learners of English, teachers, translators and general readers.
The Victorian novel, Elizabethan drama, free verse and Modernism entered Punjabi literature through the introduction of British education during the Raj. The first Punjabi printing press (using Gurmukhi font) was established through a Christian mission at Ludhiana in 1835, and the first Punjabi dictionary was published by Reverend J. Newton in 1854.
