Description
Dari-English/English-Dari Practical Dictionary, Second Edition by Carleton Bulkin is an indispensable resource for anyone working with or learning about Dari, a language spoken by over 20 million people in Afghanistan. This revised second edition features updated terminology and carefully amended entries to reflect recent linguistic developments. The dictionary provides essential vocabulary for communication, including over 30,000 total entries, as well as pronunciation keys and appendices on geographical, musical, and biological terms. It also uses the Dari script with phonetic transcriptions to aid English speakers. This two-way dictionary is particularly useful for government and NGO workers, resettlement agencies, teachers working with Dari speakers, and immigrants from Afghanistan learning English.
