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. 410 0$aLondon Oriental and African language library ;$v3. 606 $aTibetan language$xGrammar 606 $aTibetan language$xDialects$zChina$zLhasa 615 0$aTibetan language$xGrammar. 615 0$aTibetan language$xDialects 676 $a495/.482421 700 $aDenwood$b Philip$01817722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954164203321 996 $aTibetan$94375824 997 $aUNINA
