"Hobson-Jobson" by Sir Henry Yule and A. C. Burnell is a historical dictionary published in 1886. This glossary documents over 2,000 Anglo-Indian words and phrases that emerged during British colonial rule in India. Each entry includes citations from literary sources dating back to early European contact with the subcontinent, along with etymological notes. The work explores how Indian language terms were adopted, transformed, and sometimes misunderstood by British colonizers, revealing complex linguistic and cultural exchanges across centuries of contact.
