For over 130 years, the Velazquez Dictionary has been recognized throughout the world as the preeminent authority in bilingual Spanish-English dictionaries. More than 150,000 self-pronouncing entries make the Velazquez Dictionary the most advanced and exhaustive reference work currently available and the most up-to-date and widely used guide to the Spanish language as spoken today. To better serve contemporary needs, the newly revised 1985 edition incorporates a supplement of an additional 700 entries complete with multiple clarifications of the most modern scientific, technical, commercial, cultural and political terms and gives regional variations of local usages, idioms, and colloquialisms for Latin American and Castilian Spanish as well.
The 1985 edition of the Velazquez Dictionary fills the demand for a current, accurate, and convenient guide to traditional and modern terms in English and in Spanish and will greatly aid all those whose business, studies, or travel takes them into the Spanish-speaking world.
