Re: Pali Dictionaries
Dear Dhammawheel Sangha and Friends,
I'm searching for the oldest pali - english dictionary which was published older than 1870. I heard from my teacher that the book has the best learning system.
If any of you know about this, please kindly tell me the name and the author.
Thank You

Re: Pali Dictionaries
I would think he is probably referring to the dictionary of Robert Caesar Childers, though it's publication date is actually 1872-5.

Re: Pali Dictionaries
These are ebook versions of three Pali dictionaries. Included in the zip folders are editable docx versions.
Previously, this has been posted as a new topic. For easy future resource location, I thought it would be useful to post again under Pali Dictionaries.

Re: Pali Dictionaries
That’s great, thanks Pitakele.
“Householder, you have provided the community of monks with robes, alms food, lodgings, & medicinal requisites for the sick, but you shouldn’t rest content with the thought, ‘We have provided the community of monks with robes, alms food, lodgings, & medicinal requisites for the sick.’ So you should train yourself, ‘Let’s periodically enter & remain in seclusion & rapture.’ That’s how you should train yourself.”

Re: Pali Dictionaries
I noticed a couple of minor errors in the contents tables of the PTS & Concise Pali-English Dictionaries previously posted, so I have edited both. I tried a method to merge the edited files with the originals to keep the same download links, but this was unsuccessful. Here are the new links - as before, the zip folders also contain editable docx versions.

Re: Pali Dictionaries
Hi, when I want to look up a particular pali term - let's take viññāṇa for example - I have to find it in a sutta, then copy and paste it into the dictionary. Is there a special program or whatever (I'm not very tech-savvy) one can enter into one's pc (or a special keyboard, to make it even simpler), by means of which one could add those little squiggly things over the 'n's and the line over the 'a' manually? (I would also welcome more scholarly definitions of 'squiggly things' and 'line')?retrofuturist wrote: ↑Fri Jan 02, 2009 12:21 am Greetings,
A couple of handy references, for anyone interested in looking up the meaning of certain Pali words!
For me, the first port of call is usually...
Buddhist Dictionary - Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines, by Nyanatiloka
http://www.palikanon.com/english/wtb/dic_idx.html
... and if I'm still in doubt or need more precision on the term, I turn to...
The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary
http://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/pali/
Does anyone else have any dictionaries, especially on-line ones, that they find useful?
Metta,
Retro.
This would also enable me to begin typing out entire pali phrases or sentences on my own, something I feel would foster better memory and understanding.
To the Buddha-refuge i go; to the Dhamma-refuge i go; to the Sangha-refuge i go.

I believe the squiggly things are called diacritical marks. The following might help.

Re: Pali Dictionaries
For Mac-users there's the Easy Unicode keyboard layout.
http://www.palitext.com/subpages/EasyUnicode5.zip
Just download and open the zip file, place the keyboard in the keyboard folder of your system library and then open keyboard preferences and select it. Use the option key to type diacritics, thus:
option a = ā
option i = ī
option u = ū
option g or k = ṅ
option t = ṭ
option d = ḍ
option n = ṇ
option c or j = ñ
option l = ḷ
option m = ṃ
Sanskrit
option r = ṛ
option h = ḥ
option s = ś
option x = ṣ
Yena yena hi maññanti,
tato taṃ hoti aññathā.
In whatever way they conceive it,
It turns out otherwise.

Re: Pali Dictionaries
I wrote a velthuis-diacritics converter app recently. But if you are looking up terms in the PED, it's not just the squiggly things (diacritics) you need to worry about...
The PED uses an old form of niggahīta ' η ' instead of ṃ and also only lists what are termed 'true niggahīta' (also sometimes called true anusvāra) - using equivalent nasal forms for 'false niggahīta'. It also lists 'ṇ' as just 'n'...
So I thought I'd write a tool to aid PED lookup.
https://palistudies.blogspot.com/2019/0 ... -pali.html
You can type or cut and paste then click the button and it will reformat the search term for you.
This is a javascript based app so you will need javascripot enabled - but thats usually the default now-a-days.

Re: Pali Dictionaries
Hi,
I have OCRed Childers' A Dictionary of Pali Language (1872), which made the pdf file searchable. I would like to share it here.
I find this dictionary practical (though very old) in that it contains lots of examples and the English translation of them for a lexical item. The OCRed file is not perfect, because the program is not good at processing printed diacritics.
