WHAT IT DOES
Most dictionaries start from old books. This one starts from the words people really say, most said first. Each entry gives the meaning, how the word sounds, how it is spelled aloud the traditional way, its polite and plain forms, and example sentences, many from real speech. Search in Tibetan, in Wylie or in English.
