English Kurdish - Kurdish English - Sorani Dictionary
M. Goddard
Acclaimed by Kurdish Academics, the Wallenberg, Kurdish English - English Kurdish Sorani dictionary has led the way in bilingual lexicography. The first ever Kurdish dictionary to be entirely compiled based on the statistical evidence of real language; both written and spoken it is a reliable dictionary for both English and Kurdish speakers. The compiler Michael Goddard has given the definitions of words in the Arabic script and also for those who cannot read this script in Romanized English. Language is now studied in the context of its culture, so there is a brand-new introduction giving lively and useful information on life in the Kurdish-speaking world - Sections discuss Kurdish, History Art and Culture, and the Kurdish struggle for nationhood. Portable, compact, and yet affordable for a dictionary in its Class, the Wallenberg Kurdish Dictionary is ideal for school, the office, and lower university level. Authoritative and up to date and now in its second edition, the dictionary covers the language as never before. Words are tools for life and the Wallenberg dictionaries make them work for you.
