Excerpt from Hand-Book of Colloquial Tibetan: Practical Guide to the Language of Central Tibet; In Three Parts

The present work is designed to afford not only a complete guide to the Vernacular of Tibet Proper, but also considerable technical information to the travel ler in that little-explored land. The Tibetan territory is computed to hold a population of six millions, sparsely distributed over some square miles; and the time is said to be approaching when these extraordinary regions will be laid open to the enter prise of the explorer, the missionary, and the trader. In the days, then, that are to come, a knowledge of the idiom of the inhabitants will be a necessity.
