Customer Reviews

Useful and user-friendly

The books in the newer series of Lonely Planet phrasebooks are all excellent, because the authors make the assumption that the reader is an educated and literate individual, who wants to know something more about the target language than just a list of supposedly common phrases. There is a tremendous amount of information packed into this handy little book. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the book makes a very clear distinction between Hindi and Urdu words. The sections on script and grammar are well done. Overall, it is probably the best Hindi/Urdu phrasebook available.

Great compact reference

Very helpful pocket reference.

A very useful phrasebook

This phrasebook is excellent. It provides both Nagari and Urdu orthography. The little dictionary in the end is very exhaustive and ready-made sentences cover a wide range of needs.
