Farhang-e-Asifiya (Шаблон:Lang-ur) is an Urdu-to-Urdu dictionary compiled by Syed Ahmad Dehlvi.[1] It has more than 60,000 entries in four volumes.[2] It was first published in January 1901 by Rifah-e-Aam Press in Lahore, present-day Pakistan.[3][4]

History

It was compiled from 1868 to 1898.[5] This dictionary is believed to be the most comprehensive work of Urdu lexicon.[6]

Lexicography

There were Urdu dictionaries before this, but they described Urdu vocable either in Persian or in English (because of the emergence of British Raj). These dictionaries contained mostly common words and idioms and had limited extent.[7] This was the first Urdu-to-Urdu dictionary. During its compilation, Syed Dehlvi’s health worsened and he got into monetary issues. It was only completed with the support of the ruler of Deccan, Mir Mehboob Ali Khan.[5]
