Burmese Self Taught (In Burmese And Roman Characters)

About the Book:-The author reveals this manual of Burmese is designed to serve the double purpose of a text-book for students, missionaries, officers, civil servants, etc., and a handbook for tourists, travellers, and other temporary visitors to Burma. 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. The method of presenting the English words and sentences, the Burmese equivalents, and the phonetic pronunciation of the Burmese words, side by side, will not only enable the book to be used by stray visitors to the country, but assist those who intend to make Burma their work and enable them to learn the language in the only way in which it ought to be learned. So, this book is an indispensable one for the student, teacher and learner. About the Author :-Richard Fleming St Andrew St John (1839–1919) of Ealing was an English orientalist.
