[Nagesh]

Dear Members of Urdu List,

It gives me immense joy to inform you that Rekhta has launched the Beta Version of Rekhta Dictionary a couple of weeks ago. As part of Rekhta Foundation’s formative resolve to create new pathways into the art and aesthetics of Urdu literature and culture, Rekhta Dictionary is another passion project on its way to self-fulfillment.

Below are listed the key features of Rekhta Dictionary.

- Word search in three scripts
- Word in three scripts
- Audio pronunciation
- Meanings in three languages
- Examples from Urdu poetry
- Origin of word
- Synonyms and Antonyms
- Rhythmic weight of word
- Rhyming words
- Idioms and Proverbs

I would be very happy to receive feedbacks/suggestions/comments from the erudite members of Urdu Lists as I believe that literary communities can help us accelerate in our striving towards building a comprehensive trilingual Urdu dictionary.

Kindly share it with fellow scholars/friends/Urdu-lovers who you think might benefit from it. Also, please feel free to share your ideas on the scope of improvement here or at dicti...@rekhta.org

Thanks for the info Nagesh sahib. I will definitely check it out.

thanks for sharing Nagesh Sahib, looks like a good resource, though I did not see rhythmic weight or rhyming words for a few words that i checked out. They are there for some words though (ex: shab).

Thank you

Amit
