If you want it to learn spoken Telugu, don't get it. I thought it would have pronounciation of the Telugu words, but it didn't...only written Telugu.

Authoritative Dictionary by fine lexicographer of the 19th century,found in every Telugu household ;Serves as an excellent resouce to learn and hone one's language skills ,Can be used as an advanced reference by foreign students,as it was written for native Telugu speakers.At later time it was updated by great linguists and lexicographers like Gidugu and Ch Rao.No dictionary to date can be compared with Sankara Narayana's !!
