As part of my class projects I have been learning Action Script and Flash programming to create a dictionary for Tajik to easily translate English words into Tajik. I have also an idea to create a virtual keyboard which could easily help to type in Cyrillic Tajik. Cyrillic alphabet is used in Tajik language which has some unique letters such as Ҷҷ, Ҳҳ, Ғғ, Ӯӯ which one may not be able to type if Russian keyboard is installed.
Thankfully there are some websites, such as Tajik Wikipedia the editor of which has a panel of almost all characters to insert when needed. Unfortunately not everybody knows how to use Wikipedia’s editor or even just configure their computer to easily type Tajik letters.
For those of interested you can see the dictionary with a keyboard by clicking here. Please keep in mind that it takes time to add words to this dictionary and this work is still under construction. I think there is no end to finish working on dictionaries as language is continuously changes. If you have any comments and suggestions, please feel free to drop me some lines below.
Hi Ibrahim
The dictionary looks nice. It would be helpful to have an offline version of this dictionary with its integrated keyboard.
Hello Andrew,
Thanks for the comment. The current keyboard does in the dictionary does not allow users to enter words directly and show words. Users should have to type each letter using their own keyboards. Check your email I have sent a zip file which you can run offline. It does not require server-side programming. Let me know if you have suggestions.
Best,
Ibrahim
I have been looking for Tajik dictionaries and came across this one but it doesn’t seem to work.
