Named after Dr. Gerhard Walish, the Walish German Dictionary is a medium-sized bilingual and encyclopedic German original dictionary. The book is carefully selected with over 100,000 entries, including definitions, synonyms, etc., totaling up to 250,000 entries. The core vocabulary consists of standard German words, while also including common words from Austrian, Swiss, and German dialects. Its vocabulary meets the basic needs of Chinese readers for reading German original works and literature. Based on practicality, the author uniquely includes a substantial number of encyclopedic and international terms, which is a key feature of the book. Additionally, the definitions of linguistic entries break away from the "definition-style" description, using concise and accurate language. Especially for the core basic and common words that form the backbone of vocabulary, their definitions and examples are brief and easy to understand, which is highly beneficial for foreign readers. The author also uses a large number of synonyms as explanatory tools, providing readers with more word choices for translation and writing. Before the main text, the dictionary includes "Instructions for Use" and various grammar tables, but does not feature "Information on the New German Orthography" or "German Grammar Terminology Dictionary." Its content is both profound and accessible, succinct and to the point, making it an important reference for German language teachers and students. In summary, this is a highly practical German original dictionary that keeps pace with modern developments.
