I am trying to use citation templates to make this page more robust and consistent, but am having trouble with certain data not displaying despite being in the citation template. Tibetologist (talk) 12:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I just went in and added the Tibetan Dialects Project at Berne because it will be really important if it ever gets published. It's already important for lucky people who have the "preprints." And you (or some editor of this page) already praised my not-yet-published work so I thought I could praise someone else's. BeckyLadakh (discuss • contribs) 20:04, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

for Syntax one could add Zeisler 2004

Ladakhi Texts "A Tibetan script Ladakhi text is Francke (DATE 2000)." there are more than one! perhaps check the Francke bibliographies; the most important one, however is Francke, August Herrmann. 1905–41. Gšamyulna bšadpaḥi Kesargyi sgruṅs bžugs. A Lower Ladakhi version of the Kesar saga. (Bibliotheca Indica, work, 168.), Calcutta 1905–1909 (Fasc. 1–4), 1941 (Fasc. 5): Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal.

Grammars "Grammars of Ladakhi include Francke ([1901] 1979), Koshal (1979, 1982), Norman (2001). Tournadre (1996) and Zeisler (2004) treat specific topics in Ladakhi grammar." More grammatical topics on Ladakhi are covered by Zeisler 2007 (case marking patterns) and 2011 (optional ergative marking)

 * Dear 34.2.205.230, Your bibliographical pointers are most welcome. But please feel free to directly change the main body of the text yourself. The whole point of a wiki is that it is collaborative. The more readers such as yourself make improvements the more comprehensive the bibliography will become. But please do remember to add a short discussion in the text as well as the items in the bibliography at the bottom. ˜˜˜˜

Thanks to Becky, who said already most about my work. I would, however, like to add one more request for change. In your description of my 2004 book you say that it appears mainly based on secondary sources. First of all The whole third part on Ladakhi is entirely based on my field work and text analysis. In the second part, the chapter on Old and Classical Tibetan is almost exclusively based on my own analysis of the Tibetan documents, and in the sections of the Central and Eastern varieties, I did not base myself solely on secondary literature, but reanalysed the narrative texts presented by these researchers and thus came to somewhat differing solutions. I would thus very much appreciate, if you could change the wording accordingly. I don't think I should do this myself, as I understand the Wiki principles. Bettina Zeisler Tübingen
