Description
Excerpt from Burmese Self-Taught, in Burmese and Roman Characters: With Phonetic Pronunciation (Thimm''s System)
For those whom the pleasures of travel or the calls of trade and commerce bring into touch with native Burmans, a very extensive and comprehensive vocabulary of necessary and useful words is supplied - nouns, verbs, adjectives and other parts of speech - together with corresponding collections of colloquial phrases and sentences of an equally practical and useful character. These are all classified under subject-titles for easy reference, and the phonetic pronunciation of the Burmese words is added in a third column, in accordance with Marlborough''s popular phonetic system. Thus, a tourist, traveller, or trader, with no previous knowledge of the language, can readily make himself understood amongst the Burmese by means of this volume.
