Abstract:
(Show)
The largest Tibetan-English dictionary containing modern vocabulary (ca. 40,000 items). It provides many examples of usage. (Michael Walter and Manfred Taube 2006-05-15, revised by Bill McGrath 2008-01-03)
Particularly strong on military terminology. (Nathan Hill 2007-12-13)
The best dictionary available of colloquial Tibetan, this is of immense use in reading modern Tibetan, as well as more narrative classical works such as hagiographies and histories. Despite its faults, it constitutes one of the most important resource tools available in Tibetan language studies. (David Germano 2007-12-13, revised by Bill McGrath 2008-02-06)
