The Dehkhoda Dictionary is the largest comprehensive Persian dictionary ever published, consisting of 12
volumes (more than 27000 pages). It is published by the Tehran University Press (UTP) under the control of the
Dehkhoda Dictionary Institute. It traces the historical development of the Persian language, providing a
comprehensive resource to scholars and academic researchers, as well as describing usage in its many variations
throughout the world.
The complete work is a progressing effort that has taken over 4 years of effort by Ali- Akbar Dehkhoda and a
team of other experts. Although Dehkhoda covers a big part of literary terms and words in Persian, the first
edition of it lacks most scientific and technology terms coined by the Academy of Persian Language and
Literature during the past decades. However the newer editions cover them.
Dehkhoda states in the preface of the first edition of the dictionary that "Not only does this book miss 2/3 of
today’s entire Persian vocabulary; at least half of the words I knew were forgotten and not recorded in this
book." Many of those words were added in newer editions published after his death. The newer editions have
been published by the University of Tehran.
