A Vocabulary of English, Balti and Kashmiri, compiled hy H. H. 

 Godwin Austen, Capt. H. M., 24th Begt. Topi. Assist. Gt. Trial 

 Survey. 



[Received 14th July, 1866.] 



This Vocabulary of Kashmiri and Balti words was compiled from 

 time to time in leasure hours of rainy days, while surveying in those 

 countries. If does not profess to he strictly correct, being taken from 

 so many sources, in so many parts, and from, generally speaking, the 

 common people. Several of the words may possibly be only common 

 to a single district or valley, which is frecpiently the case, especially in 

 those least frequented, or where the people are a mixed race, as in 

 the Kishengunge, Wurdwan and the upper part of Dras valley. 



In the Balti words, those having the first, second or third letters 

 marked with dots under them or a line, as ish ish, such syllables are 

 slightly sounded before the word of which the full sound follows 

 after, which is a peculiarity of the Tibetan dialects, — as also the 

 letter TZ and TS.
