Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book serves as an all-encompassing guide to the spoken language of Tibet, specifically the dialect prevalent in the central region. It was created to assist travelers, missionaries, and merchants who anticipate venturing into this unique and relatively unexplored land. While previous works have focused on the classical Tibetan language, this book addresses the significant differences in vocabulary and grammar found in the modern vernacular. The author draws on existing resources and personal interactions with native speakers to provide a comprehensive analysis of the language. The book is divided into three sections: a grammar guide, conversational exercises with technical vocabulary lists, and a Tibetan-English dictionary. The grammar section meticulously details the unique pronunciation system, including tones and syllable structure, as well as the intricacies of nouns, verbs, and sentence construction. The conversational exercises cover practical scenarios encountered while traveling in Tibet, such as asking for directions, ordering food, and visiting religious sites. This book offers valuable insights into the linguistic complexities of the Tibetan language. By understanding the nuances of the spoken word, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Tibetan people.
