Samsad Bengali–English Dictionary (DSAL)

What it actually is

Sailendra Biswas's Samsad is the reference Bengali–English dictionary, digitised by the University of Chicago's Digital South Asia Library. Search in Bengali script or transliteration. It is a scholarly dictionary rather than a phrasebook, so definitions are precise and occasionally literary — for everyday usage a learner dictionary will feel friendlier, but nothing else has this coverage for free.
