There are three sections to this book: five introductory chapters, the body of the dictionary, and
four appendices. The introductory chapters provide background on the Sherpa people and the Sherpa-speaking area (Chapter 1), the Sherpa language (Chapter 2), the system of romanization used in this dictionary to represent Sherpa pronunciation (Chapter 3), the Sambhota script as it is used to write Sherpa (Chapter 4), and a guide for users of the dictionary (Chapter 5). The body of the dictionary consists of three parts: first a Sherpa-English-Nepali dictionary, next an English-Sherpa dictionary , and finally a Nepali-Sherpa dictionary. The appendices provide further linguistic detail on the system of transliteration (Appendix 1), factors taken into consideration in developing a script for Sherpa (Appendix 2), the main phonological and morphological characteristics of Sherpa (Appendix 3), and a table of irregular verb forms (Appendix 5).
