Description
About The Book: Hindustani and English, and English and Hindustani dictionary, by John Shakespear's first published in the early 19th century, was a pivotal linguistic tool for British administrators in colonial India. It aimed to bridge language gaps between English speakers and native Hindustani speakers, aiding communication in governance and trade. The "entirely new" English-to-Hindustani section represented Shakespear's effort to refine earlier versions and provide a more comprehensive guide. His work significantly contributed to the study and understanding of Hindustani, which later evolved into Hindi and Urdu.
