A comparative dictionary of the Indo-Aryan languages
R. L. Turner (Composer), D. R. Turner (Editor), J. C. Wright (Editor)
Turner provides 15,000 Sanskrit 'head-words', followed by some 140,000 words in both Middle Indo-Aryan (Pali, Prakrit, etc.) and New Indo-Aryan (Sindhi, Lahnda, Panjabi, Kashmiri, Western and Central Pahari, Nepali, Assamese, Bengali, Oriya, Bihari, Maithili, Awadhi, Hindi, Urdu, Rajasthani dialects, Gujarati, Marathi, Konkani, and Sinhalese). Turner used Meyer-Lübke's "Romanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch" as his model. The second volume, compiled by Turner's wife, Lady Dorothy Rivers Turner, contains indexes, arranged language by language, of all 140,000 words. The third volume contains a phonetic analysis of the head-words, and the fourth contains material from sources that Turner overlooked during, or that were published after, the preparation of the preceding volumes
