BhojpuriHindiEnglish Shabdkosh

When considering the Hindi language, we cannot forget the contributions of its co-languages, because the true strength of Hindi lies in its wealth of Tadbhavas. A major source of these Tadbhavas are its co-languages and dialects. Literature written in these regional languages made a significant contribution to the Bhakti movement and the countrys freedom struggle. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Hindi is Hindi because of figures like Tulsi, Kabir, Sur, Raidas, and Meera. All these great writers composed their works in Hindis co-languages: Awadhi, Braj, Bhojpuri, and Rajasthani. To reflect this fact, the need for dictionaries of regional languages is self-evident. Today, Khariboli Hindi is becoming more popular as the official language, therefore, regional languages require additional attention. Today, urbanization and globalization are homogenizing everything, and linguistic diversity is under threat. In such a situation, the responsibility of the Hindi language increases. Bhojpuri is a vibrant language prevalent in the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar regions of India. Bhojpuri is also widely used among Indians in countries like Mauritius, Suriname, Trinidad, Guyana, Fiji, and others. Thus, Bhojpuri is a significant part of Hindis international context, one that cannot be ignored. Considering Bhojpuris global role and popularity, Hindis growing international importance, and Englishs universal presence, this trilingual Bhojpuri-Hindi-English Dictionary will undoubtedly prove to be a unique testament to lexicography. No attempt has been made to revive words that have fallen into oblivion, and by avoiding vulgar, one-sided, and controversial words, the dictionary has been saved from becoming bulky and cumbersome. We hope readers will find this dictionary useful.
