Summary Annotation After surveying the many varieties of the language and their geographical and historical background, Denwood (U. of London) concentrates on a phonological and grammatical description of the modern spoken Lhasa dialect, the standard spoken variety. He then applies the grammatical framework, devised specifically to describe this variety, to the written varieties of Preclassical and Classical Tibetan, demonstrating the fundamental unity of the language. He also outlines the writing system, though all examples and texts are in roman script and where appropriate the International Phonetic Alphabet. The text can be used in a course or by determined scholars for individual study. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
