Description

Learn Classical Tibetan with this comprehensive textbook, designed for beginners and intermediate learners. The book covers the essential grammar topics of pre-16th-century Classical Tibetan, providing a solid foundation for two semesters of study. Classical Tibetan is a written Middle Tibetan language with a rich history, still used in religious services and cultural contexts around the world. The textbook includes an introduction to the Tibetan script, eighteen lessons, and a reading section, with each lesson explaining grammatical topics followed by exercises and word lists. Additional features include a brief introduction to Tibetic languages, translations of exercises and readings, and annotated excerpts from well-known pieces of Tibetan literature. This textbook is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as those looking to deepen their understanding of the language.
