Avestan Lexicon is a comprehensive offline application designed for reading the Avesta and studying the Avestan language, the sacred tongue of Zoroastrianism. With this app, you can explore the entire corpus of the Avesta without needing an internet connection, including the Yasna, Gathas of Zoroaster, Visperad, Vendidad, Yasts, and the Khordeh Avesta, along with fragments. Each verse is presented in romanized transliteration, original Din Dabireh script (Avestan font), and English translation, allowing for easy text comparisons.
The app features a dynamic dictionary where you can search thousands of Avestan words with translations, definitions, grammatical notes, and etymological details. The search function is insensitive to diacritics, meaning you can type 'asa' and find 'aṣ̌a' without needing to worry about the correct accents. Tap on any word in a verse to instantly view its meaning.
It is designed for learners, enabling you to browse the dictionary alphabetically or search in Avestan or English. You can also enjoy curated word collections, a word of the day, and a verse of the day, along with the ability to bookmark verses and words to pick up where you left off. With a clean, book-like font, this app is perfect for extended reading.
Completely offline and private, all dictionary and sacred text libraries are included within the app, ensuring no account creation, login, ads, or tracking is necessary. What you read or search for remains solely on your device, making it accessible anytime, even on a plane or in areas without signal. Avestan Lexicon is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, Zoroastrians, and anyone interested in one of the world's oldest religious traditions.
