Tibetan Language for Non-Tibetans

This book serves as a practical guidebook for non-Tibetan beginners who want to learn the Tibetan writing system and conversational Tibetan, but have never studied the language before. Based on modern colloquial Tibetan, it is founded on traditional Tibetan expression as well as the proper shape and style used by Tibetans in their daily lives, enabling learners to connect directly with Tibetans. This book is an outcome of the author’s in-depth research on Tibetan language for the last two and half decades and is the third book in the series of his research work devoted to the ‘Linguistic Studies of the lesser-known/endangered Languages of Indian Himalayas & beyond’. This book features a Foreword from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
