Towards a Generic Framework for the Development of Unicode Based Digital Sindhi Dictionaries

Dictionaries are essence of any language providing vital linguistic recourse for the language learners, researchers and scholars. This paper focuses on the methodology and techniques used in developing software architecture for a UBSESD (Unicode Based Sindhi to English and English to Sindhi Dictionary). The proposed system provides an accurate solution for construction and representation of Unicode based Sindhi characters in a dictionary implementing Hash Structure algorithm and a custom java Object as its internal data structure saved in a file. The System provides facilities for Insertion, Deletion and Editing of new records of Sindhi. Through this framework any type of Sindhi to English and English to Sindhi Dictionary (belonging to different domains of knowledge, e.g. engineering, medicine, computer, biology etc.) could be developed easily with accurate representation of Unicode Characters in font independent manner.
