    History and format[edit]

    Urdu Lughat is composed in the style of the Oxford English Dictionary. It is the most comprehensive, detailed and thick dictionary in the history of Urdu language. It is published by the Urdu Lughat Board, Karachi. The dictionary was edited by the honorary director general of the board Maulvi Abdul Haq who had already been working on an Urdu dictionary since the establishment of the Urdu Dictionary Board, Karachi, in 1958.[1][2][3]

    Urdu Lughat consists of 22 volumes. In 2019, the board prepared a short concise version of the dictionary in 2 volumes. The dictionary also has an internet version and a mobile app with a sound option.[4][5]
