Riaz-ul-Lughat (Arabic-Persian Dictionary) in 11 volumes


Riaz-ul-Lughat (Riyád al-Lughát) is an Arabic to Persian dictionary in 11 volumes. It is laid out on the basis of the spelling of each word and not on the Arabic roots of words. The root letters are however given so that the user can look up the word in other dictionaries. This dictionary is also distinct from most Arabic-Persian dictionaries in including broken plurals of words in their alphabetical sequence and not just under the singular. According to the Introduction, It is the most complete such dictionary available. The author of this work Riaz Ghadimi passed away while he was writing the ninth volume and the work has been brought to completion by Dr Behnam Rahbin and Mr Ehsanullah Hemmat.
