Now with dark mode — a lamplit theme for reading the Avesta after sundown. The complete scripture and a living Avestan dictionary, fully offline. No account, no ads.
Avestan Lexicon is a complete, offline companion for reading the Avesta and studying the Avestan language — the sacred tongue of Zoroastrianism.
THE FULL AVESTA, OFFLINE
Read the entire corpus with no internet connection: the Yasna, the Gathas of Zarathustra, the Visperad, the Vendidad, the Yashts, the Khordeh Avesta, and the Fragments. Every verse is presented in Roman transliteration, in the original Din Dabireh (Avestan script), and in English translation, side by side.
A LIVING DICTIONARY
Look up thousands of Avestan words with translations, definitions, grammatical notes, and etymological detail. Search is diacritic-insensitive so you never have to hunt for the right accent. Tap any word in a verse to see its meaning instantly.
BUILT FOR STUDY
- Browse the dictionary A–Z or search in Avestan or English
- Curated word collections that group vocabulary by theme
- Word of the Day and Verse of the Day
- Bookmark verses and words, and pick up where you left off
- Clean, book-like typography designed for long reading
COMPLETELY OFFLINE. COMPLETELY PRIVATE
The entire dictionary and scripture library are bundled inside the app. There is no account to create, no sign-in, no ads, and no tracking. Nothing you read or search ever leaves your device. It works the same on a plane, in an archive, or anywhere with no signal.
For students, scholars, Zoroastrians, and anyone drawn to one of the world's oldest religious traditions.
Dark mode has arrived — read the scripture by lamplight.
• Dark mode, app-wide. Follow your device appearance automatically, or switch any time from the header. Tuned warm for long night reading.
• Avestan script fix: the word-separator dot no longer renders as an empty box.
• Assorted polish across the reader, dictionary, and library.
