## What is Kashmiri Dictionary?

KASHMIRI DICTIONARY — Grierson's authoritative 1916 reference, now beautifully digitized.

Explore 40,000+ Kashmiri (Koshur) words with meanings, Devanagari script, Sanskrit etymology, and literary source citations — the definitive Kashmiri-English lexicon of the last century, in your pocket.

WHY THIS APP

• 40,000+ entries — every word from Sir George Grierson's 1916 Kashmiri-English Dictionary
• Devanagari script alongside Roman transliteration
• Sanskrit etymological roots for each word
• Literary source citations (Śiva-pariṇaya, Rāmāvatāra-carita, Hātim's Tales, Kashmiri Proverbs)
• Smart prefix search — no need to type diacritics
• Educational alphabet guide with tap-to-explore examples

SMART PREFIX SEARCH

Kashmiri uses macrons (ā), diaeresis (ü), tildes (ã), circumflex (ô), and other marks that are impossible to type on a phone keyboard. This app solves that: type "ka" and instantly see "ka", "kā", "kã", "kạ" — all diacritic variants surfaced automatically. Type "tav" and get "tav", "tāv", "taw", "tāw" — v and w are treated as the same sound because they're phonetically close in Kashmiri.

BROWSE BY PHONEME

Explore every Kashmiri sound in Devanagari order — vowels, consonants, aspirated letters, retroflexes. Each phoneme tile shows its Roman + Devanagari form and the number of entries starting with that sound.

EXTENDED VOWELS

Kashmiri's unique compound sounds — like ǖ (ü with macron) and vowels that stack a tilde, macron and diaeresis on a single letter — rendered with the linguistic-quality Gentium Plus font that stacks combining marks properly at distinct heights.

RICH WORD DETAILS

Every entry shows:
• Roman transliteration and Devanagari script
• Sanskrit etymology (where recorded)
• Page reference in Grierson's original volume
• Numbered meanings with usage examples
• Grammatical tags (masculine, feminine, adjective, interjection, cross-reference)
• Cross-references to related words
• Literary source citations you can tap to explore

ALPHABET GUIDE

Never seen ǖ before? Learn what each mark means — macron, diaeresis, tilde, breve, circumflex, dot below, dot above — with clear explanations, examples, and one-tap navigation into related dictionary entries.

MADE FOR

• Kashmiri diaspora reconnecting with their heritage language
