What is the Tibetan language?
Tibetan is the native language of the Tibetan people, spoken across the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding regions. While it is primarily used in the Tibet Autonomous Region, it is also widely spoken in neighboring areas—such as Qinghai and Gansu in the north, Sichuan and Yunnan in the east, and parts of Bhutan, northern India, and Nepal in the south.
Although commonly referred to as “Tibetan,” the term actually encompasses around 25 distinct languages that evolved from Old Tibetan. These Tibetan languages are often mutually unintelligible. For instance, Dzongkha—the official language of Bhutan—is considered a southern dialect of the broader Tibetan language family.
In modern classification, “Tibetan” typically refers to three main dialect groups:
- Central Tibetan (Ü-Tsang), which includes the Lhasa dialect
- Kham Tibetan
- Amdo Tibetan
Among these, the Lhasa dialect is recognized as Standard Tibetan and is most commonly used in education, translation, and by foreign learners.
Tibetan Script:
Tibetan is written in the Tibetan script, a phonetic script derived from Indian writing systems.
"Hello" in Tibetan:
བཀྲ་ཤིས༌བདེ༌ལེགས།/tʰɑːʃiː deːlɛk/
Primary Regions of Use
Language Family: Sino-Tibetan → Tibeto-Burman Branch → Tibetan Group
Regions Spoken: Tibet, the Kashmir region, China (Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan), Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and surrounding areas
A Fascinating Connection with Japanese
Surprisingly, the way numbers are pronounced in Japanese and Tibetan share some striking similarities. For example, the Japanese numbers ichi, ni, san, shi, go (1–5) closely resemble the Tibetan chik, nyi, sum, shi, ngo. Although shichi (7) and hachi (8) diverge a bit, kyuu (9) is quite similar to Tibetan gu, and juu (10) becomes chu in Tibetan. The pattern continues with juuichi (11) as chu ji, juuni (12) as chu nyi, and so on. Even higher numbers like nijuu (20) and sanjuu (30) correspond to nyi shu and sum ju, respectively.
It’s a curious and poetic reminder of how languages from distant lands—like Japan and Tibet—can echo each other in unexpected ways.
