THE NEW TIBETAN-ENGLISH DICTIONARY OF MODERN TIBETAN

by Melvyn Goldstein, with T.S. Shelling & J.T. Surkhang, and Pierre Robillard

Pound for pound, this is the best Tibetan-to-English dictionary around. It contains more than 80,000 lexical items used in political, social, economic, literary and scientific discourse, and includes thousands of words that have come into use since Tibet was invaded. One of the very best resources for modern Tibetan. Each entry includes the Tibetan script and spoken pronunciation. Thousands of illustrative sentences are provided. Although focused on the modern language, it often proves useful for hard-to-find words in classical texts.
