Hindi
- Platts, A Dictionary of Urdu, Classical Hindi and English (London: W. H. Allen & Co., 1884) — digital edition courtesy DSAL, University of Chicago. The 1884 text is public domain; every Platts gloss on this site is quoted with this attribution and its print page. Our copy was gathered from DSAL's public page view in a good-faith, rate-limited crawl (at most one request per second, with an identifying User-Agent) — details in the project's source documentation. For Hindi meanings, Śabdasāgara leads for native vocabulary and Platts for Perso-Arabic-origin words; Wiktionary remains the etymology source.
