Excerpt from Grammar of Colloquial Tibetan In the first edition this grammar was published as the first part of a Manual of Colloquial Tibetan, the second part con sisting of an english-tibetan Colloquial Dictionary. In this second edition both parts have not only been revised, but have also been considerably enlarged. The map accompanying this edition - the latest from the Indian Survey Department - is bulkier than the Royal Geographical Society's map of 1904, with which the first edition was furnished. It has therefore been found best to bring out the Grammar and Dictionary as separate books. The map accompanies the Grammar.
