Synopsis This dictionary, result of many years of labor, was first published in 1902, after having been reviewed by a board of scholars. This authoritative dictionary follows a chronology of Tibetan words in alphabetical order,accepterd Sanskrit equivalents, English transliteration, and meanings. Alex Csoma De Koros, the pioneer student of Tibetan, in the preface of his Tibetan-English –Dictionary, published in 1834, wrote as follows:-When there shall be more interest taken for Buddhism and for diffusing Christian and European knowledge throughout the most eastern parts of Asia, the Tibetan Dictionary may be much improved, enlarged, and illustrated by the addition of Sanskrit terms. The result of his investigations, to speak in Csoma’s own words, was that the literature of Tibet is entirely of Indian origin. The immense volume on different branches of science, etc., being exact or faithful translations from Sanskrit works, taken from Bengal, Magadha, Gangetic or Central India, Kashmir, and Nepal, commencing from the seventh century after Christ. And that many of these works have been translated (mostly from Tibetan) into the Mongol, Manchu, and the Chinese languages, so that by this means the Tibetan language became in Chinese Tartary the language of the learned as the Latin in Europe. This dictionary includes words of modern Tibetan which were known to Csoma or Jaschke.
