Burmese Self-Taught, in Burmese and Roman Characters

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. 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.
