Lugát
Dictionary for Kashmiri
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
27,000 Kashmiri words from two dictionaries, 6,000 of them with recorded
pronunciation. Flashcards to make them stick. Entirely offline.
Lugát is an offline Kashmiri dictionary for iPhone and iPad, built by the
Yimberzol Foundation to make the Kashmiri lexicon easy to search on a phone.
TWO DICTIONARIES, KEPT SEPARATE
Lugát bundles two different works and lets you choose between them with a tab
on the Search screen. They are not merged, because they disagree on spelling,
coverage and era.
GRIERSON, 1932 — around 21,000 entries
George A. Grierson's A Dictionary of the Kashmiri Language (1916-1932), one of
the most thorough records of the language ever compiled. Headwords are romanised
in Koashur Khat, with Grierson's own spelling shown alongside.
HASSAN, 2010 — around 6,000 words, every one with audio
A Pronouncing Dictionary of Kashmiri by Shafi Shauq and Omkar N. Koul. Every
entry has a recorded pronunciation you can play with one tap. All 6,000
recordings are bundled in the app, so they work with no connection.
SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS DICTIONARIES
Type a Kashmiri word or an English meaning. Exact headword matches rank first,
partial matches next, and definition mentions last, so the word you meant is at
the top rather than buried.
BROWSE BY PART OF SPEECH
Nouns, adjectives, adverbs and everything else, each with its own list, in
whichever dictionary you have selected.
FLASHCARDS
Build a deck from any part of either lexicon and work through it. Swipe or tap
to mark what you know and what needs another look.
WORD OF THE DAY
A new word each morning, drawn from the Hassan dictionary so it always comes
with a recording.
COMPLETELY OFFLINE
Both dictionaries, all 6,000 recordings and both typefaces are inside the app.
No network connection is used at any point: no accounts, no analytics, no
advertising, no tracking. Lugát works on a plane, on a train through the valley,
or with the SIM out.
A NOTE ON THE SOURCES
Grierson's dictionary is a century old. It records early-twentieth-century
Kashmiri, so some entries are archaic, and it was written inside the colonial
ethnographic tradition - a small number of entries contain language that is
offensive by today's standards. We present the text unaltered, because editing a
historical lexicon would misrepresent it. Word of the Day, the only content shown
without searching, is drawn from a filtered subset.
Lugát is free, with no in-app purchases.
