The Tibetan languages are a group of languages spoken primarily in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, as well as in parts of India, Nepal, and Bhutan. They belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family and are characterized by their unique phonetic and grammatical features. The most widely spoken Tibetan language is Standard Tibetan, which serves as the lingua franca among Tibetan speakers. There are several dialects within the Tibetan language group, including Central Tibetan, Amdo Tibetan, and Kham Tibetan. Each dialect has its own distinct pronunciation and vocabulary, reflecting the diverse cultural and geographical landscape of the Tibetan-speaking regions. Tibetan languages are also closely linked to Tibetan Buddhism, with many religious texts written in these languages.
