Ebook: Kham Tibetan language materials

Publisher: Sino-Platonic Papers
Publication date: 1993
Number of pages: 39The reader is undoubtedly aware that written Tibetan radically differs from what is spoken and that there are also many differences in, for example, written Tibetan in Amdo regions and that of Lhasa. The value of this material is that it presents one of the most widely used Tibetan dialects as it is actually spoken.
Renchin-Jashe, a native of Yulshul (Yushu) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province where Kham is spoken, wrote these sentences using a system that he devised. I then edited the sentences. The text "English 900" was of some use in this preparation. We have tried throughout to present sentences that reflect Tibetan culture.
