            The  first  Persian  dictionary  which  is  still  published  was  compiled
            more  than  900  years  ago.  Loghat-e  Fors  was  made  by  Asadi  Tusi
            who was a famous poet in the 5th century. The list of entries has
            been arranged according to the final letters of the words. There are
            example  sentences  which  were  taken  from  poetry.  The  dictionary
            has synonyms and explanations that were used by young poets. This
            dictionary has been used widely by the poets who lived after Asadi
            Tusi. Many words have been added to the first dictionary which Asadi
            compiled. The dictionary has been published several times and is a
            valuable  treasure  of  Persian  language.
