A dictionary, with English equivalents of the modern written Mongolian language, in Cyrllic script and orthography, as used in the Mongolian People's Republic. Consisting of some 20,000 main entries and numerous secondary entries, it has been compiled on the basis of reading and excerpting currently printed media materials.
Two unusual features of the dictionary enhance its usefulness. Occasionally some short quotations from original sources have been included, in order to promote the practical understanding of the language. Secondly, wherever possible the Tibetan originals of the Tibetan loan-words have been given, in order to facilitate further research.
