Rekhta Books. He also addresses regional usage: the Sindhi vocabulary differs in Lower vs. Northern Sindh, and by community (Hindus vs. Muslims) — so he chose terms that are widely understood. Rekhta BooksThe dictionary is historically significant: Stack was a British officer in Sindh, learned Sindhi, and compiled this for practical cross-linguistic use.
