About the Project
Nahor (নাহৰ) began as an independent project built to address some common gap in in existing online Assamese dictionary platforms: modern search functionality, fast responsive layouts, and reliable database structures on mobile screens.
Our core database contains over 40,000 definitions. While early data incorporated foundational open-source records (including legacy databases like Xobdo.org), we have systematically corrected typographical errors, wrong Parts of Speech, and missing data. A large portion of definitions, grammar tags, and example sentences have also been researched and added manually to ensure accuracy.
Objectives of Nahor Assamese Dictionary:
- Promote correct Assamese words, standardized Assamese grammar, appropriate contextual uses, and accurate English translations worldwide digitally
- Provide students, language learners, everyday writers, and general Assamese speakers by serving as a highly accessible and structurally accurate reference hub.
- Fix and refine legacy digital dictionary data errors to provide a dependable, verified platform for modern users.
- Maintain an advanced, intuitive, and fast web application interface that makes looking up definitions clean and straightforward across both mobile and desktop screens.
Community Collaboration:
Because a language database requires continuous expansion, community participation is highly encouraged. Anyone who speaks, studies, or values the Assamese language can contribute to this project. Users can submit new vocabulary words, suggest corrections for existing definitions, or provide feedback to improve the system. If you want to contribute we invite you to join us.
