Abstract
This article discusses some important issues of Urdu lexicography, i.e. the act of compiling dictionaries. The writer points out that no Urdu lexicon as of now has been comprehensively compiled using modern methods and principles of the discipline. For example the issues about the number of alphabets, their order, the meanings of words, different shades of synonyms, pronunciation, source etc. need attention. Most importantly, several words, now integrally a part of the language are ignored, thus showing that a complete and comprehensive work has yet not evolved.
