	Tibetan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The classical written language has nine cases: the absolutive, (unmarked morphologically), the genitive (-gi, -gyi, -kyi, -'i, -yi), the ergative/instrumental (-gi, -gyi, -kyi, -'i, -yi), the locative (-na), allative (-la), terminative (-ru, -su, -tu, -du, -r), comitative (-dang), the ablative (-nas), and the elative (-las).

		The Tibetan language is typically classified as member of the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan linguistic family.
		By means of agglutination, the Tibetan language has developed a considerable grammatical system of word suffixes and is no longer strictly isolating in structure.
		The chief differences between the classical language of the Tibetan translators of the 9th century and the present day vernacular are in vocabulary, phraseology and grammatical structure.

	Tibetan
		Tibetan refers to several distinct spoken dialects that are frequently mutually incomprehensible but who have over the centuries maintained a common literary tradition, much like Latin before speakers of Romance languages developed their own vernacular literatures.
		Tibetan is spoken by approximately 6 million people in the Tibet Autonomous Region and the Qinghai, Sichuan, and Gansu provinces of China; in Bhutan, Nepal, in Sikkim; and parts of Kashmir in India.
		This evolving Standard Tibetan is now widely understood and spoken as a native language in the wider Lhasa area, as well as among the diaspora community in India, Nepal, China, Europe, and America.

		After the collapse of the Tibetan monarchy in Lhasa in the middle of the 9th century, a branch of the royal Tibetan Dynasty took refuge in West Tibet and established the State, which was known as Zhang-Zhung.
		Language and culture are interrelated because language and culture are characterized by common traits in history, folklore and literature.” Language helps build social and communal cohesion, which is of the utmost importance in social evolution and development.
		Therefore, Balti along with Amdo and Khams Tibetan, is of the utmost importance for the understanding and re-construction of the language history of Tibetan and Tibeto-Burman languages.

	THDL Reference-Guide to Dictionaries
		Tibetan in its contemporary sense begins in the eighth century, when it appears that the Tibetan script and literary language was created with support from the Tibetan empire based upon precedents that are still poorly understood.
		During its first two centuries, literary Tibetan was utilized by the military-government for administrative purposes, and by the burgeoning Buddhist movement for sacred purposes, including the massive translation project of bringing the pan-Asian Buddhist canon into the Tibetan language and the rising body of indigenous compositions.
		Tibetan "dialects" are really separate languages at the spoken level, even if their speakers have historically tended - when literate - to utilize a shared transregional literary language.

	Bibliography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Since Tibetan Studies is a relatively young field in the International community, and there is not as much economic incentive for the study of Tibetan as some other, language teaching resources for the study of Tibetan are underdeveloped.
		The materials are strongest (relatively speaking) for the study of modern spoken Tibetan in the Lhasan dialect and for the study of classical Tibetan with a focus on religious materials; they are much weaker for the study of other dialects of spoken Tibetan, for Old Tibetan literature, and for modern literary Tibetan.
		While in its current form it is heavily focused on English and Tibetan language materials, we are interested in instructional materials on Tibetan for any language whatsoever -- Russian, French, Japanese, and so forth.
