AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC TIBETAN-ENGLISH DICTIONARY: Volume 1 (Ka-Nya)

by the Nationalities Publishing House & the School of Oriental and African Studies; ed. director, Dr. Tadeusz Skorupski; Tibetan ed., Tudeng Nyima; trans., Gyurme Dorje & Tudeng Nyima

The compilers have covered an astounding range of secular and religious literature, oral tradition and dialects, professional and other terms--this is no doubt the most comprehensive Tibetan-to-English dictionary in a single publication. It reflects the richness and diversity of the popular, intellectual, and religious creativity of the Tibetan people. The entries are given both in the Tibetan script and in Wylie transliteration, along with the English meanings and examples of usage.

This is the first volume of the three-volume set.
