Gujarati Dictionary, Thesaurus and more

We met with an amazing gentleman last week. Ratilal Chandaria has spent two decades working on Gujarati language. He has created an online dictionary containing more than 1.7 million words. GujaratiLexicon.com has English to Gujarati, Gujarati to English, Gujarati to Gujarati, Opposite words, Idioms and Thesaurus.

Ratibhai himself is full of energy and passion. We really salute the work he and his team have done.

  4. Yes, I have used the Moradia’s dictionary. But GujaratiLexicon is much superior – many times more words, thesauras, online version, based on unicode, available for Windows and Mac too, and free!

    We are thinking of charging a price for the CD version now, but the online version will remain free.

  7. There are unbearable blunders in Gujarati words. There are 45% words in Gujarati written wrongly in Chnadaria’s lexicon dictionary.This dictionary will ruin the purity of Gujarati spelling system. It is complex and intolerable to stand such a dictionary merely boasting of number of words which are actually repeated hundreds of times. Sheer trash of facts and ridiculous claims.

  8. Viral:

    You can certainly use the GujaratiLexicon online service for checking spellings. You can also download the software from the GujaratiLexicon site, and donate money to support the cause.

    Sangeeta:

    We thank you for your valuable feedback. This work has been going on for years and many people were involved in entering the data over the years. We are therefore conscious that either typos or human errors are bound to be there. We have gone through our data twice and are going though them once again and will be correcting them with the help of concerned people like you, who care about Gujarati language. We would appreciate your giving us some examples on the errors you have noticed. It will help us to correct them to present a qualitative work.

    We commend you for the time you have taken in going through all our Dictionaries and concluding precisely by saying that there are 45% words in Gujarati written wrongly. Madam, we wish to assure you that not a SINGLE word has been coined by us. They have been picked up from some five or six dictionaries. In the service of Gujarati, our Mother tongue.

    We now earnestly solicit your help by giving us examples of some errors you have noticed. It will help us not only to correct them but help improve the quality of work. We are willing to even pay you for your services on this.
    Also, I tried to access your website link, but it did not work. Please provide the correct link to establish your credibility as well.

  9. સંગીતાબહેન,
    દુનિયામાં સહેલામાં સહેલું કોઈ કામ હોય તો તે ભૂલો કાઢવાનું છે. ભૂલો છે; ભૂલો છે એમ બોલવું સાવ સહેલું છે. ભાષાશિક્ષક તરીકે આખી જિન્દગી મેં એ જ કામ તો કર્યું છે પણ ઉદાહરણ રૂપે દસ ભૂલો ચીંધી બતાવવી એ કરવા જેવું કામ છે.

    તમારા પ્રતિભાવમાં મને બહુ રસ પડ્યો છે. હું સુરતમાં જ છું. ઉંમર વર્ષ ૭૩. નિવૃત્ત ભાષાશિક્ષક. તમે પણ સુરતમાં જ છો. મને મંજૂરી આપો તો મારું લેપટોપ લઈ તમને મળવા ઉત્સુક છું. આપણે સાથે બેસી ભૂલો દર્શાવીએ. એ કરવા જેવું કામ છે. ગુજરાતીને માત્ર જીવતી રાખવા પૂરતું જ નહીં; તેને વધારે ઓજસ્વી બનાવવા માટેની રતિલાલભાઈ તરફથી ગુજરાતીને મળેલી આ તો પાશેરામાં પહેલી પૂણી છે. આપણે સાથે મળી બીજી પૂણી ન મૂકીએ? એટલું પુણ્ય આપણ બેયને મળશે..તમે ઈચ્છો તો મારું સરનામું અને ટેલિફોન નંબર આપું. મને બોલાવશો? લખજો. મારી તૈયારી છે..જય ગુજરાતી..ઉત્તમ ગજ્જર..સુરત

    સોરી, મને ઉંઝાજોડણીમાં લખવાની ટેવ પડી ગઈ છે. ઉંઝાજોડણી વિશે તો જાણો છો ને?
    લો, આ બીજી વાર સાર્થજોડણી પ્રમાણે સુધારીને મૂકું છું..ઉત્તમ ગજ્જર..સુરત..

  15. I’m using the Software ‘Gujarati lexicon’ for 2 years.
    It’s helping me a lot, but I just wanna say that it should be more like the online version of Gujarati Lexicon, which is awesome.

    Hey, is there any mobile version of it?. I guess not, but it will be wonderful I think.

  44. For everyone: We are working with Gujarat Vidyapeeth to make the Saarth dictionary available in digital format. The work is almost complete. Saarth is one of the best Gujarati dictionaries and will help a lot of people.

    All those looking for English – Gujarati dictionary, can go to http://www.gujaratilexicon.com and try it there.

    As for Gujarati learning software or specific dictionaries (like for medical), I am not aware of any good solutions. If you find out something, please post it here!

    Thanks!

  45. I want Gujarati Fonts.
    e.g. If I want to write Anand in Gujarati the same can be done by typing Anand in english.

  47. Rachit, Examples please! And, check if your browser is capable to view Unicode encoding properly. Ancient browsers before IE6 will not work perfect for GujaratiLexicon.com site.

    Bhargav, wait for a while, new GujaratiLexicon.com website will satisfy your requirement!

    […] Then there is another set of people. People who’ve been working on the language for years and are happy to see this happening. Ratilal Chandaria was one such person, who came down to meet us specially six months ago. That meeting started a new journey for Utkarsh. We shook hands with GujaratiLexicon and now taking full care of it. […]
