Dictionnaire français-birman

This dictionary may be small, but it contains more than 6,000 entries and is ideal for French speakers who want to express themselves in Burmese and understand Burmese conversations. The volume begins with an introduction to the writing system, so that readers can understand the signs and pronunciation. A Burmese lexicon and an explanation of essential grammatical features is included. In the dictionary itself, the pronunciation and the writing of the word are both indicated. The volume concludes with a list of modern conversation basics, as well as proverbs, which are indispensible keys to unlocking and understanding the culture.
