I started the Lexicon of Iranian Languages (LIL) in 1998 as a project
of the "Institute of Indology and Tamil Studies" (IITS), University of
Cologne, where it was hosted for six years. In February 2004 I moved
LIL to <amitis.org />.
The original aim of the project was to digitise the most important
printed dictionaries of Iranian Languages. The final aim is to create
an interlinked lexical database to provide easy access to available
resources.
Every digitised dictionary of this project will be encoded according
to the guidelines developed by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
At present the Lexicon of Iranian Languages contains Professor
MacKenzie's Pahlavi-English Dictionary with approximately 4200
entries.
