Overview

Modeled upon the Oxford English Dictionary, the THL Tibetan Rich Dictionary has created a framework to collaborative document the sixteen century history of Tibetan words, including contemporary usage. The dictionary includes multiple passages from literary sources over time, audio-recordings and transcripts of speech, and illustrative images and audio-video.

Subsequent integration with THL programming norms has been done by Heiser Mazariegos.

Sponsors

The project has been funded by the Department of Education through its IRSP and TICFIA programs.
