The New Tibetan-English Dictionary of Mode Tibetan surpasses
existing dictionaries in both scope and comprehensiveness.
Containing more than 80,000 lexical items used in political,
social, economic, literary, and scientific discourse, this
invaluable sourcebook includes the tens of thousands of new words
that have been coined or that have come into use since Tibet was
incorporated into the People's Republic of China in 1951. The
dictionary lists lexical items characteristic of the special
written genre that was used by Tibetan govement officials up to
1959 as well as new terminology used in the Tibetan exile
communities in South Asia. It contains both the core lexical
terminology used in everyday life and standard mode writing and
many proverbs and sayings that appear frequently in contemporary
literary materials. The entries provide spoken pronunciation and
thousands of illustrative sentences.
