The Oxford Elementary Learner's English-Urdu Dictionary Paperback – July 26, 2001

This dictionary is meant primarily for native Urdu speakers who start learning English, and therefore it is useless for foreigners who are just beginning learning Urdu, since one needs to know already the alphabet and there is no transliteration of the Urdu words. But it must be said that for the not-so-elementary learner the dictionary is a rich source of phraseology, and figuring out on one's own the nuances of meaning of any given word can be a fun game.

I have been looking for a good inexpensive Urdu to English dictionary. This does not give description of the words. Very disappointing.

This book is intended for the native Urdu speaker learning English, and will not be especially helpful in the reverse.

the cover is very deceving.you dont know how manys words it has,i thought it will have more words collection then pocket dictionary,i was wrong.it is very thin lean dictionary,with very very few words.it does not solve the purpose as a resource.i called the company to return it,but the shipping and handeling was non refundable,and sending it back would have cost more money,so it was not worth the effort.the cover dont tell you and the publisher dont mention it either how many words are there in this dictionary.waste of money for serious use.
