Format:Paperback
This is a very useful dictionary for anyone studying classical or literary Tibetan. It also contains many words which corespond with modern Tibetan. The book contains an intersting comparitive of the different Tibetan dialects as well as an English - Tibetan vocabulary. Entries can include a overview of the gramatical structure of the Tibetan language and detailed examples.
Format:Paperback
It is a very good dictionary, and I got it very fast after the order. It was a very good quality.

Good solid basic dictionary
4 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
Although I understand the technical reasons for not doing so, I wish that the examples and compounds were in the Tibetan script as the base entries are. I appreciate, however, the citations being full phrases so that the dictionary helps one learn written Tibetan. I especially appreciate the providing of the Sanskrit in devanagri where a Tibetan term is used technically as a translation of a Buddhist Sanskrit term. This is especially important for those whose primary language is Sanskrit but must learn Tibetan because so many Sanskrit Buddhist texts were lost.

older English worldview still valuable for modern translator
6 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
Outdated (sometimes truly quaint) culturally, and definitely influenced by Jaschke's christian missionary orientation. Neverthless a classic that deserves a place on every Tibetan-English translator's bookshelf. I often consult it as a third-or-fourth opinion (after Rangjung Yeshe and Das) when I am searching for a good English match to the Tibetan. Was a pioneering work in its time, deserves continuing use within limits of its view.
