The Tibetan Script is a writing system used primarily for the Tibetan language and several other languages in the Himalayan region. It is an abugida, meaning each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The script is derived from the ancient Brahmi script and has been in use since the 7th century. Tibetan script is not only used for everyday communication but also plays a crucial role in Buddhist texts and religious literature. The script consists of 30 basic letters, along with various symbols for vowels and other sounds, allowing for a rich expression of the language's phonetics.
