Definition

  • Standard Tibetan (, ; also ) is the most widely used spoken form of the Tibetan languages. It is based on the speech of Lhasa, an Ü-Tsang dialect belonging to the Central Tibetan languages. For this reason, Standard Tibetan is often called Central Tibetan ( ; also written Ükä or Uke or , also written Ü-tsang kä). Tibetan, often implicitly meaning Standard Tibetan, is an official language of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. Central Tibetan is one of several branches of the Tibetan languages, the most salient others being Khams, Amdo, and Ladakhi. The standard form of written Tibetan is based on Classical Tibetan and is highly conservative.
