An English-Persian Dictionary

This is the third edition of Gilani's popular English-Persian (Farsi) dictionary. It includes approximately 22,000 entries. This dictionary has major advantages compared to other English-Persian dictionaries. For the student of Persian, the pronunciation of the Persian rather than the English is emphasized. It provides the Persian equivalent of an English word, rather than using a descriptive definition. The more commonly preferred American usage is cited. Historically, Persian dictionaries have assumed the reader to be versed in British usage DARIUS B.
