Synopsis

The Oxford English-Urdu Mini Dictionary is a mini version, both in size and scope, of our very popular The Little Oxford English-Urdu Dictionary, which in turn was derived from the legendary The Oxford English-Urdu Dictionary by Shanul-Haq Haqqee. With 700 pages and a size of 120 x 90 mm, it contains more than 33,000 entries and definitions explained in a very easy and simple style. In the available range of mini dictionaries, it is the most comprehensive and affordable. Because of size it is very handy to take along anywhere.

I bought this for a Pakistani ESL student who didn't own her own translating dictionary. It has helped her sort out some of the idiomatic expressions that leave our second language students bewildered. --By Dislocated on 11 May 2015
