Tajiki

Tajik-English Dictionary
Jahangir Mamatov, S.J. Harrell, Kathy Kehoe, Karim Khodjibaev
This dictionary of 29,487 headwords is intended for native speakers of English who are translating written Tajik texts into English; it is based primarily on written, rather than spoken, Tajik. However, it can also be useful for Tajiks who are studying the English language. The headwords and the examples in the dictionary are based on a corpus drawn mainly from contemporary Tajik newspapers and transcribed interviews with native Tajik speakers. In all, the corpus contains approximately 600,000 words. 2005, 740 pages, hardbound.
