The Oxford Dictionaries' initiative known as Oxford Global Languages (OGL) has added the Tajik language to its online list.

The online Tajik dictionary instantly translates words and phrases from Tajik to English and vice versa.

The online dictionary is based on the standard English-Tajik Dictionary compiled by Professor Abdusalom Mamadnazarov.

Dr. Abdusalom Mamadnazarov is author of a number of monographs and translations.  He, in particular, translated from Tajik into English books such as “Our President” (2006) and “History of Contemporary Statehood” (2002).  He also translated from English into Tajik the following books: “History of America” (1996); “Economy of America” (1997), and “History and Doctrine of Ismaili”.  Mr. Mamadnazarov is also author of the English-Tajik Dictionary for University Students (2003), etc.

Launched in September 2015, OGL is a major initiative from Oxford Dictionaries which aims to build lexicographical and other language resources for around 100 of the world’s languages and to make them available online.  

Thanks to OGL, large quantities of quality lexical information for a wide range of languages are now available in a single, linked repository for use by speakers, learners, and developers.

OGL aims to transform the experience of millions of people worldwide by making their language available in digital form – on websites, in apps, and via other tools.

OGL records how living languages, including their variants and dialects, are used today. The result is a vast data store of language data that is accessible, linked, and reusable.
