What is The Great Tibetan Dictionary?
This app is a revised version of The Great Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary, which was first published in the 1970s in China. The revised edition was produced and published in the early 1990s in Nepal. The app contains over 55,000 entries and is a Tibetan-Tibetan dictionary, which demands a good knowledge of the language to be of use. It is an essential reference for anyone whose Tibetan is sufficiently good to be able to use it successfully.
1. Then we made another major change to the dictionary; the original comes with definitions in both Tibetan and Chinese but we wanted a version with Tibetan only.
2. The result, available here, is an entirely new version of the originally dictionary with substantial improvements to the text and with the feature which many Westerners had requested of being Tibetan-Tibetan only.
3. Having discovered that, we input the dictionary ourselves then spent two full years revising the content, correcting many mistakes, especially in the Sanskrit, in the original.
4. Thus, this is not a dictionary for beginners; it is a real Tibetan-Tibetan dictionary made for Tibetans which demands a good knowledge of the language to be of use.
5. This dictionary is a fully revised version of The Great Tibetan-Chinese Dictionary (bod rgya tshig mdzod chen mo).
6. The basis for the revised edition is the very first edition of the dictionary, published on paper in the 1970’s in China.
7. Certainly translators should be using this dictionary and should be using it instead of the many other copies available on the internet today.
8. It is noteworthy that there are other versions of this dictionary available in various places.
9. However, the dictionary contains over 55,000 entries, more than any other single dictionary and contains many useful examples.
10. However, these were all made from an input of the original done by the Asian Classics Input Project which we checked entry by entry and found to be highly corrupt and with significant omissions and additions.
11. The dictionary is not easy to read.
