The Tibetic languages are a group of languages spoken primarily in the Tibet region and surrounding areas, including parts of Nepal, India, and Bhutan. They belong to the larger Sino-Tibetan language family and are characterized by their unique phonetic and grammatical features. The most widely spoken Tibetic language is Standard Tibetan, which serves as a lingua franca among Tibetan speakers. These languages are often used in religious and cultural contexts, particularly in Buddhism, where many texts are written in classical Tibetan. There are several dialects within the Tibetic language group, reflecting the diverse communities and regions where they are spoken.
