Dictionary by Dehchoda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Handwritten note from Dehchodas: "What the reader of this book will find here is not the life's work of a single person, but the life's work of many people"

The dictionary of Dehchoda (also Dehkhodas lexicon , Persian لغت‌نامه دهخدا Loghat-nāme-ye Dehchodā , DMG loġat-nāme-ye Dehḫodā or "Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Persian Language ") is the most important and comprehensive lexicon of the Persian language and literature .

The encyclopedic dictionary was created in 1931 by the linguist Ali Akbar Dehchoda (1879–1956) with the collaboration and assistance of renowned Iranian scholars of the Persian language and literature, such as Mohammad Moin , Jafar Shahidi and many other well-known Iranians and literary scholars in 15 volumes and in 26,000 pages published. The Persian dictionary contains over 4.5 million entries and explanations. It is the standard work in Iran , Afghanistan and Tajikistan .

The Dehchoda on the Internet

So far (as of 2017) there is no official version of the Dehchoda on the Internet. The website Parsi Wiki Open Dictionary ( Persian واژه نامه‌ی پارسی ویکی, DMG wāže-nāme-ye pārsī-ye wīkī ) contains the text of the Dehchoda, although the anonymous operators have since converted it into a wiki and are asking their readers for cooperation for new entries. However, the Dehchoda lemmas are marked with a red lock and cannot be changed. The rules of the site refer directly to the Persian Wikipedia.
