## About the Book

This dictionary is a unique and systematic attempt to compile the spoken and practical vocabulary of Uttarakhand’s languages in a single volume. Unlike conventional dictionaries, Dwikal Kumauni–Garhwali Audyali focuses on usage-based words drawn from daily life, culture, occupations, nature, and folk traditions of the hills.

The content is thoughtfully organised into thematic sections such as body parts, clothing and ornaments, food and grains, agriculture, flora and fauna, household terms, professions, colours, time, animals and birds, nature, relations, religion and festivals, taste and sound, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, numbers, months, days, diseases, and more. This structure makes the dictionary especially practical for learners and translators.

An important highlight of the book is the inclusion of linguistic maps of Uttarakhand, appendices on cultural vocabulary, folk tales, and brief language introductions. These additions provide cultural and geographical context, helping readers understand how language varies across regions.

Prepared with scholarly care and cultural sensitivity, this dictionary preserves regional expressions that are rapidly disappearing due to modernisation. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in Uttarakhand’s linguistic diversity, comparative language studies, and cultural documentation.
