Oxford Albanian-English Dictionary edited by Leonard Newmark

The Oxford Albanian-English Dictionary edited by Leonard Newmark is one of the most comprehensive and respected modern Albanian-English reference works published by Oxford University Press. First issued in hardcover and later released in this practical 1999 paperback edition, the dictionary remains an important resource for linguists, translators, students, academics, and collectors of specialised language references.

Containing over 85,000 words and phrases together with approximately 150,000 translations, this substantial volume offers extensive coverage of both standard and non-standard Albanian. The Oxford Albanian-English Dictionary includes idiomatic expressions, proverbs, grammatical guidance, dialect variations, pronunciation assistance, and culturally specific terminology, making it particularly useful for serious study and professional use. The work also includes a guide to Albanian grammar and pronunciation, enhancing its value as both a practical and scholarly reference.

Edited by renowned linguist Leonard Newmark, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego, The Oxford Albanian-English Dictionary is regarded as a landmark publication in Albanian lexicography. Oxford University Press publications in lesser-served language fields have become increasingly sought after, particularly when found in clean collectible condition.

This 1999 paperback edition is in near fine condition, presenting exceptionally well with only very light shelf wear consistent with careful ownership. The binding remains tight and square, and the pages are clean and bright throughout. A highly desirable reference title for collectors of dictionaries, Balkan studies material, Eastern European language books, and Oxford academic publications.
