Foreword
I am delighted to see the publication of Sherpa Dictionary at a
time when Nepal is going to be a federal state with the possibility of recognizing several provinces having their own cultures and languages (including Sherpa) for official and educational purposes. This dictionary has been carefully designed with characteristics such as traditional Tibetan writing system, Pronunciation in IPA symbol, Roman and Devanagari transliteration, parts of speech of the word and meanings in English and Nepali. Besides, it also includes the three dialectal variations of the language.
This is a trilingual dictionary (Sherpa‐English‐Nepali) mainly
intended for its native speakers. However, it can be equally useful for learning Sherpa by English and Nepali knowing people.
I am confidant that this work can benefit the concerning
readers in particular and the Sherpa community in general. I would like to express my thanks to its chief editor Mr. Gelu Sherpa, its other contributors and, above all, Sherpa Association of Nepal and Sherpa National Liberation Front of Nepal.

Acknowledgments First of all I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Yogendra Prasad Yadava of Central Department of Linguistics, Tribhuvan University for his advice to compile this dictionary and for writing the foreword for the publication. It is Prof. Yadava who not only encouraged but also insisted me to be a linguist. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Tej Ratna Kansakar, Khenpo Ngawang Waser Sherpa, Lecturer Jyoti Pradhan and Ms. Norkee Sherpa working on the Sherpa language documentation earlier. I am grateful to my teacher Mr. Bala Ram Prasain and my colleague Mr. Krishna Poudel for supporting in toolbox during the compilation of the dictionary. I would like to thank Mr. Krishna Prasad Chalise, lecturer of Central Department of Linguistics, and Mr. Ramesh Khatri, a young linguist for quick proof reading of the drat copies in a short time. Many other individuals and organizations have made considerable contributions to bring this publication for the entire Sherpa community. I am grateful to Mr. Ang Rita Sherpa and other representatives of Himalayan Trust Nepal for their support in publishing this dictionary and circulating the publication to the school communities and organizations supported by and affiliated to their organization. On behave of Sherpa community, I would like to thank National Foundation for Development of Indigenous Nationalities for supporting in preliminary documentation of Sherpa language in initial phase. I would like to thank Mr. Lhakpa Gyaljen Sherpa, Managing Director of Everest Art Paper, Lalitpur; Mr. Nima Nuru Sherpa, Managing Director of Cho‐oyu Trekking; Mr. Phurba G. Sherpa, Managing Director of Himalayan Sherpa Adventure (P) Ltd.; and Mr. Dawa Chhiri Sherpa, Managing Director of Tseringma Treks and Expedition (P) Ltd. for their invaluable support to bring this publication for the Sherpa community. I have to thank Mr. Lhakpa Sonam Sherpa of Thamserku Trekking (P) Ltd. and Ngima Tendup Sherpa, Chairperson of Himalayan Health and
ii
Environmental Services, Solukhumbu for their generous support to make this publication happen. I would like to thank Mr. Kripasur Sherpa, the past Chairperson and Mr. Pema Chhiri Sherpa the present Chairperson of Sherpa Association of Nepal for their positive thoughts towards preservation and development of Sherpa language. I am very grateful to Mr. Phurba Chhiri Sherpa, the Chairperson of Sherpa National Liberation Front of Nepal for his enthusiasm and initiatives making the financial and other logistic arrangements to publish this dictionary. This dictionary is based on the Sherpa language spoken in Solu and surrounding areas in Nepal. But, I have tried to include at least other three varieties: Khumbu, Sindhupalchok/Dolakha, and Taplejung that are different from the main variety. In this regard, I would like to thank Mrs. Mingma Lama (Khumjung, Solukhumbu), Mr. Tshering Ongdi Lama Sherpa (Bigu, Dolakha), Ms. Phurpa Lhamu Sherpa (Listi, Sindhupalchok), Mr. Gombu Sherpa (Pawai, Solukhumbu), and Mr. Chhiri Sherpa (Gumdel, Ramachhap) for proving the varieties spoken in particular geographical region based the initial draft copies. I have to thank Mr. Karma Gyaljen Sherpa for typing the draft copies; Mr. Rameshwor Shrestha for designing the cover; and Mr. Gelchhiri Sherpa, of Sherpa Media Group for designing the Sherpa settlement estimation map that I have used in this publication. Finally, on behalf of Sherpa community, I would like to thank all the researchers and writers who have contributed to describe and document Sherpa language and culture. Indeed, to tell the truth, the different types of researches and publications on Sherpa language till to the date encouraged me to work more on description, documentation and development of the Sherpa language.

Preface Language is not only a medium of communication, it is a resource to culture based linguistic knowledge and heritage. The Sherpa language is deeply rooted in its rich culture and way of life. But, the Sherpa is still in a process of documentation and development. This publication is a part of Sherpa culture and language preservation and promotion initiatives. This ‘Sherpa‐English‐Nepali Dictionary’ serves the preliminary documentation of the language, its uses in literacy, and mother tongue education. The main aim of this publication is to introduce Sherpa script (Sambhota) and the Sherpa language with the help of Roman and Devanagari scripts for the preservation and promotion of Sherpa language and cultural identity. I have been working on Sherpa language since 2000 when I decided to write a thesis on Sherpa language as a partial fulfillment of my master’s degree in education from Tribhuvan University. Since then, I have been working in and doing researches about the Sherpa language. The main source of this dictionary is the different types of texts that I have collected for the last ten years of my profession and studies on the language. Considerable numbers of words were collected from native speakers of different geographical regions in the last two years by using vocabulary collection tools. I have to say that some words were also taken from existing vocabulary collections and other publications in their certain forms. Since language is a dynamic social phenomenon, it keeps on changing as the society changes. It’s natural that the same language differs from place to another; and one community to other at certain degrees and in different forms. So it is difficult to document a particular language capturing all these variations in its written form. This dictionary is based on the Sherpa language spoken in Solu and its surrounding areas in Nepal which is the most intelligible variety. However, I have tried to include and mark at least three varieties of the Sherpa language that are different from the main variety. The other varieties included are spoken in Khumbu region of Solukhumbu [Kh.]; in certain areas of iv
Sindhupalchok and Dolakha district [Si./Do.]; and in Taplejung and other eastern regions [Ta.] from the area of main variety. But, this dictionary doesn’t contain all the words available in these varieties. The Sherpa language can be written in different scripts such as Sambhota, Devanagari, and Roman etc. But there are different perceptions on these scripts in Sherpa community. Since Sherpa is a Tibeto‐Burman tonal language, Sambhota script is more suitable to capture the tonal feature and to deal with homonymy. However, the Traditional Tibetan writing convention of Sambhota script is very complex. Due to the religious and cultural linkages many communities including Sherpa have been following the Traditional Tibetan writing system. So, based on the previous literary materials and other publications, I have followed the Traditional Tibetan writing convention of Sambhota script. But, since Sherpa language is different from Tibetan, there are many deviations in spelling, particularly to write the Sherpa original words and other loan words from other languages. Regarding, transliteration in Roman and Devanagari scripts, I have based on to follow a spelling systems based on Sherpa phonology. But, I have also made some compromises on the spelling system based on the available publication on Sherpa language in order to avoid confusion to the readers. Finally, I would like to say that it’s not impossible but very difficult to compile an error free dictionary let alone making a dictionary of a preliterate language like the Sherpa. Since language is dynamic, dictionary making is a longitudinal and continuous process; words are created, borrowed, and changed time and again. So, I have to admit due to various constraints, there are undoubtedly still many flaws and mistakes in this publication. As a chief editor, I will bear full responsibility for all of them. This is just an effort and initial step to develop Sherpa language. I am looking for your constructive comments, feedbacks, suggestion as well as support to make this publication a better one in the next edition. The editor

Guide for the User of this Dictionary The dictionary is composed of four parts: Introduction, Sherpa‐English‐ Nepali Dictionary, English‐Sherpa Index, and Nepali Sherpa Index. In the introductory part Sherpa phonology, morphology, and orthography have been introduced briefly. The Sherpa sound system, word building processes, their entry in the dictionary, scripts and writing systems in different scripts (Sambhota, Roman, and Devanagari) have been described in this part. This part is useful for basic linguistic knowledge of the language. However, for general reading one can skip the introductory part or directly go to any other part as per requirement. In the Sherpa‐English‐Nepali Dictionary, about 4,000 entries are listed according to Sherpa alphabetical order indicated in given introductory part. The head word appears in Sambhota script followed by phonemic transcription by using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols; transliteration convention in Roman and Devanagari scripts are given; the parts of speech is mentioned in both English and Nepali; and then the meaning of the word is translated in English and Nepali languages. The Sambhota script is presented according to Traditional Tibetan writing convention and the Roman and Devanagari transliteration is based on the conventions that have been used in publications till the date and nearest to the Sherpa phonology and oral pronunciation of the word. At least three regional varieties (Khumbu, Western, and Eastern); honorific registers; volitional and non‐volitional sub categories of the main verbs have been marked in the entry. The different varieties have been marked by the following symbols in the entry: Khumbu: ‐[Kh] Dolakha (certain areas of Dolakha): ‐[Do.] Sindhupalchok(certain areas of Sindhupalchok): ‐[ Si.] Taplejung(certain areas of Taplejung): ‐[Ta]
v'Da' bf]nvf -bf]nvfsf] s]xL If]qdf_M l;Gw'kfNrf]s - l;Gw'kfNrf]ssf] s]xL If]qdf_M tfKn]h'ª - tfKn]h'ªsf] s]xL If]qdf_M
-v'=_ -bf]=_ -l;=_ -tf=_
The particular word which is spoken in both areas has marked by both symbols in slash. For example: ‐[Kh./Ta.] refers to the word spoken in both Khumbu and Taplejung region. But, it is very difficult to demarcate the border of language varieties. So, it is very difficult to say from which particular area the next variety is spoken. viii
The English‐Sherpa Index part is given to introduce Sherpa language and script through Romanization. About 3,000 common English lexical words of specified categories in Roman alphabetical order are translated in Sherpa by using Sambhota script followed by its equivalent conventional Romanization. The different regional varieties of the same category have been given. The fourth part, Nepali‐Sherpa Index has been included for the readers to give access to the Sherpa language and script using Devanagri script and Nepali language. Almost 3,000 common Nepali words have been translated in Sherpa by using traditional Sambhota writing convention followed by conventional Devanagari transliteration. The word categories and different varieties in pronunciation and spelling have been included. Different forms of main Verbs, descriptive adjectives, and pronouns are listed in Annex at the end of the dictionary. Similarly, to entertain audiences in different profession and fields, technical terms used in specific field such as politics and media have been given in Annex.
