Book excerpt: The Tibetan Phrasebook is a phrasebook of colloquial Amdo Tibetan. It is geared towards preparing students of Amdo Tibetan to be conversational in the field of study, allowing students to pronounce and understand the phonemically complex language. The Phrasebook should be used with the accompanying audio transcript, available for free on The Tibetan Phrasebook website. Unlike many other manuals of Amdo Tibetan, the emphasis therein is not on the classical didactic grammatical approach, but the practical acquisition of the colloquial language.The Phrasebook also allows students to practice reading the two most widely utilized scripts of Tibetan: the "headed" script used mostly in print, and the "headless" script, typically used in handwriting. The Phrasebook has eight different scenarios common to tourists, students, and researchers of Tibetan regions: Introducing Oneself Eating and Drinking Visiting a Tibetan Family Traveling At the Market At School On the Phone At the Clinic All eight scenarios are dialogues read out-loud by a native Tibetan speaker, followed by a translation by the author, a native English speaker. For best results: listen carefully to the native Tibetan speaker's phrase and repeat as faithfully as possible. The audio is available for free on The Tibetan Phrasebook website. More advanced users can follow along by reading the Tibetan script in either the print or cursive variations. To date, The Tibetan Phrasebook is one of the only English language tools available to learn to read the "headless" (UMed) cursive script of Tibetan.

There is also an appendix on fauna and an extensive list of recommended further resources, including books, music, films and even virtual reality Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The 'land of snows' possesses the world's highest peaks (including Everest) and its deepest gorges as well as some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia. Bradt's Tibet provides all the practical information you need to explore ethnic Tibet independently, whether motoring, mountain-biking or trekking.

With flight routes and rail access to Tibet expanding, and new border crossings opening, Michael Buckley and Bradt's Tibet provide all of the information you need to make the most of a trip.

Download or read book Tibetan written by Philip Denwood and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tibetan language comprises a wide range of spoken and written varieties whose known history dates from the 7th century AD to the present day. 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. The grammatical framework which has been specially devised to describe this variety is then applied to the written varieties of Preclassical and Classical Tibetan, demonstrating the fundamental unity of the language. The writing system is outlined, though all examples and texts are given in roman script and where appropriate, the International Phonetic Alphabet. The volume includes a comprehensive bibliography.
