Mary Lewis Harper Milne known as Mrs. Leslie Milne (1860–1932) was an English anthropologist who traveled extensively and wrote about the ethnic peoples of the Shan State in Northern Burma. Her best known book, ''The Shans at Home'',〔Milne, Mrs. Leslie (1910) ''The Shans at Home'' John Murray, London, 〕 was an account of the cultural practices and day-to-day life of the Shan people of the village of Namkham in Shan State and was based on the many months she spent living in that village. She was also the author of ''The Home of an Eastern Clan'',〔Milne, Mrs. Leslie (1924) ''The Home of an Eastern Clan: A study of the Palaungs of the Shan states'' Clarendon Press, Oxford, England, 〕 a book about the life and culture of the Palaung people, and wrote the first,〔Blagdeb, C. O. (1933) "Review of ''A Dictionary of English-Palaung and Palaung-English''" ''Man'' 33: p. 23〕 and what is possibly the only English-Palaung dictionary. == Published works == * ''The Shans at Home'', London, John Murray (1910). * ''An Elementary Palaung Grammar'', Oxford, Clarendon Press (1921). Published in 1921, this was the first survey of the grammar of the Palaung language, the language of a hill tribe of the Shan State of Burma and of the Yunnan province of China. Mrs. Milne traveled to Namshan, the capital of the Palaung state of Tawngpeng, to the Palaungs of North Hsenwi, as well as to the Palaungs of Yunnan to collect material for this book. * ''The Home of an Eastern Clan: A Study of the Palaungs of the Shan State'', Oxford, Clarendon Press (1924). * ''A Dictionary of English-Palaung and Palaung-English'', Rangoon (1931). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mrs. Leslie Milne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
