The Dictionary of the Lepcha Language, first published in 1898, is a comprehensive reference book that provides a detailed description of the Lepcha language. The Lepcha language is spoken by the Lepcha people, who are indigenous to the Himalayan region of India, Bhutan, and Nepal. The book is written by George Byres Mainwaring, who was a British civil servant and scholar of the Lepcha language. He spent several years living among the Lepcha people, studying their language and culture, and compiling this dictionary. The dictionary contains over 5,000 entries, including words, phrases, and idioms. Each entry includes the Lepcha word, its pronunciation, and its English translation. The book also includes a grammar section that explains the rules of Lepcha grammar, as well as a brief introduction to the Lepcha people and their culture. This dictionary is an important resource for scholars of linguistics and anthropology, as well as anyone interested in the Lepcha language and culture. It provides a valuable insight into the language and way of life of a unique and fascinating people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
