Learn Tibetan

"The Tibetan language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman subfamily of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. It is the main language of about 6 million people living in Tibet, parts of Nepal, India, Bhutan, as well as in exile communities all over the world.

Spoken Tibetan varies a great deal between different regions and localities. Distinct dialects have developed and it can even be difficult for Tibetans to understand each other if they do not come from the same area. Written Tibetan, on the other hand, is the same everywhere. This is especially true for religious texts. "
