Its speakers inhabit a vast area in Central Asia and the Himalayas extending into seven modern nation states, while its abundant literature includes much of vital importance to the study of Buddhism. After surveying all the known varieties of Tibetan, including their geographical and historical background, this book concentrates on a phonological and grammatical description of the modern spoken Lhasa dialect, the standard spoken variety.London Oriental and African language library ;3.Tibetan languageGrammarTibetan languageDialectsChinaLhasaTibetan languageGrammar.Tibetan languageDialects495/.482421Denwood Philip1676249MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814882103321Tibetan4042331UNINA
