Goldstein : The New Tibetan-English Dictionary of Modern Tibetan

This new, monumental reference work surpasses existing dictionaries in both scope and comprehensiveness. Containing more than 80,000 lexical items used in social, political, economic, literary and scientific discourse, this invaluable sourcebook includes the thousands of new words that have been coined in modern times.

The dictionary includes lexical items characteristic of the special written genre employed by Tibetan government officials up to 1959, but also lists new terminology used in the Tibetan exile communities in South Asia. It contains both the core lexical terminology found in everyday life and standard modern writing and many proverbs and sayings that appear frequently in contemporary literary materials. All entries include spoken pronunciation, and the dictionary provides thousands of illustrative sentances.
