Which Indian words are included in the Oxford Dictionary?
New Delhi, 24 January (Language) The updated edition of the Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary has included 26 new Indian English words including Aadhaar, rice, box, strike, and marriage.
The 10th edition of the dictionary was released on Friday containing a total of 384 Indian English words. Also, about 1,000 new words including chatbot, fake news, and microplastic have also found a place in this dictionary.
Oxford University Press stated that the dictionary has been focusing on the changes and developments in the language over the years and has ensured that the language and examples used in the new version are relevant and timely updated.
The new version of the dictionary is equipped with interactive features on the Oxford Learners Dictionary website and app. The website has updated features such as visual-sound learning, video walkthrough (software), self-study activities and sophisticated i-Writer and i-speaker tools.
Fatima Dada, managing director (teaching department) at Oxford University Press, said, “This edition has 26 new Indian English words in place, of which 22 are in the printed version while four are in the digital version.”
Some other Indian English words that have found a place in the dictionary are Aunty (Indian form of the pre-existing word), bus stand, deemed university, FIR, non-veg, redressal, tempo, tube light, wedge, and videography.
The four Indian English words included in the online version of the dictionary are current (for electricity), looter, looting, and upjila.
Fatima said, “Prevalence and common usage are the mainstays of incorporating words. We assess the words used when speaking English all over the world, after which those words go through an intensive testing process. “
He told “PTI-Language”, “Oxford University Press is the patron of the English language globally. So these words have to go through this process. “
Fatima reported that the dictionary app has 86,000 words, 95,000 phrases, 1,12,000 meanings and 2,37,000 examples.
It is noteworthy that this dictionary has a history of 77 years. It was originally published in Japan in 1942 and first published by Oxford University Press in 1948. The Learner Dictionary is based on the values of its founder, Albert Sidney Hornby, whose aim was to help people worldwide learn this language to understand the meaning of the English language.
