Hindi is an incredibly generous language and does not hesitate to adopt words from other languages. It quickly adapts current usage and this is why modern Hindi writing has such a crisp and electric feel to it. Hence, the need to create a contemporary dictionary which does justice to these virtues of Hindi.
Hindi
traces its origins to Khadi Boli. Khadi Boli itself is not a very old language when compared to Sanskrit, Prakrit, Pali, etc. It rose into prominence with the advent of British rule in India, where it was closely associated with the Indian struggle for freedom
from the imperial yoke. This was the time when the Devanagari script made its first appearance in Indian courts of law.
This was the era in which Khadi Boli
written in Devanagari became known as Hindi and Khadi Boli written in Nastaliq began to be known as Urdu.
The
earliest Hindi dictionaries came into being in the early years of the 20th century with Nagari Pracharini Sabha, Varanasi first off the bat with their magnificent Hindi Shabda Sagar. They were closely followed by Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Prayag and Jnanamandal,
Varanasi.While these remain benchmarks in the history of Hindi lexicography, they are not free from flaws. All these dictionaries were hugely influenced by Braj and Sanskrit. They were influenced by contemporaneous literary trends, with the prevalent attitude
being that Braj was far more appropriate for poetry than Hindi.
Hindi
took her syntax from Khadi Boli. While taking a major part of its lexicon from Sanskrit, Hindi has been fare more syncretic and has liberally adopted and adapted words from Indian languages such as Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Braj, Bundelkhandi, Magahi, Maithili and
Urdu as well as from European languages like English and French.
The earliest Hindi grammarians like Kamataprasad Guru and Kishoridas Vajpeyi were deeply influenced by Sanskrit and it took the next generation of linguistics and grammarians like Dr Nagendra and Manager Pandey to develop a more realistic grammar of Hindi, which reflected current usage.
With the decline of chhayavada and advent of progressive writers in Hindi, the difference between spoken Hindi and written Hindi declined and Hindi was established on an even keel, with great consonance between its written and spoken versions.
Using the Oxford English Dictionary as an exemplar, the editors of this dictionary have attempted to add new words to the dictionary, which are constantly used in common parlance but failed to appear in older dictionaries. Also, new words which have come about due to the vast changes in the world due to technology, social media and new discoveries and inventions, are accommodated in this dictionary.
This dictionary is a must have for all those who love Hindi and India.
The needs of students and scholars of Hindi would be well served by this dictionary and the Brihat Samantar Kosh. http://www.navelgazing.net/2015/09/brihat-samantar-kosh-hindi-thesaurus.html
This fine dictionary, and several others are available at our bookstore and through mail order.
