A Smaller Hindustani and English Dictionary : Printed Entirely in the Roman Character, Conformable To the System Laid Down By Sir William Jones, and Improved Since His Time

"A Smaller Hindustani and English Dictionary" by Duncan Forbes is a compact linguistic tool designed for English and Hindustani speakers, presented entirely in Roman characters. Based on the system introduced by Sir William Jones and later improved, this dictionary aimed to make the Hindustani language more accessible to English speakers during British rule in India. By Romanizing the script, it facilitated easier learning and translation, serving administrative, educational, and communication needs between the British and the local population.
