Biscuit: I discovered the other day that both the Hans Wehr and Mawrid dictionaries are available for free on the Internet Archive (www.archive.org), much to my surprise, since I didn't think they were in the public domain.
I know that Lane's Lexicon is also available for free somewhere online, but I have to find the right website. In any case, he's too prolix for a beginner to use. Edited by Palomnik - 09 April 2008 at 8:12am |

I was able to search the way back archive using the terms Arabic dictionary and found the link to the Hans Wehr dictionary. I was unable to come up with the Al-Mawrid dictionary.
What terms should I search to find this? Thanks so much! |

Workerbee:
Here's the link: http://www.archive.org/details/almawrid_658
Although I must unfortunately advise you that this is apparently Mawrid's Arabic-English Dictionary (also sometimes called the Hava Dictionary), not the English-Arabic one, so it may not be what you're looking for.
The Mawrid/Hawa dictionary is also quite good, although if a beginner is forced to choose between which one to use, the choice has to be the Wehr dictionary. The Mawrid has a lot of older words and expressions in it and may be useful at a later stage when you start feeling into medieval material.
By the way, as I mentioned earlier, Lane's Lexicon - all ten volumes of it, in its abstruse glory - is available downloadable for free at http://www.studyquran.co.uk/LLhome.htm
I have rarely ventured into Lane for an answer to a vocabulary question, and when I did I usually went away more confused than when I started. It's not a work for the fainthearted, but it's nice to know that it's there! Edited by Palomnik - 15 April 2008 at 2:01pm |

This site seems to have a number of downloadable resources for Arabic, including Al-Mawrid (Arabic-English, at least that's how it's labeled.)
