Great explanation, this is really interesting to learn more about the differences between the 3 Tibetan dialects. Kind regards from the Basque Country.
Very well and i appreciated you very much what you have done that explain for Tibetan language. Well, as you know `´ let`s go with together`` song by Phurbu Ti Namgyal and who is living now USA. He was born in India and he is still well known singer in our society and i think his parent came from Central Tibetan (Uzang) as well.
Hi, Wangmo! Is there a "Standard" Tibetan dialect that unifies the spoken language? From what I've heard before (and I could absolutely be wrong), the U-Tsang dialect is considered the standard, as it's the one spoken in Lhasa, but how much of that is true?
Just wondering, do you know if the "Rgyal wrong (རྒྱལ་རོང་ / 嘉戎語)" language or dialect of the Qiangic language subgroup resembles any of the 3 dialects? Thanks!
That's an insightful question. Rgyalrong languages sound like the Southern Pastoral Amdo Tibetan, hereafter SPAT, spoken in Ganzi Prefecture of Sichuan, to an average-untrained ear. Reasons being that both groups have retained many initial consonant clusters, and can be none tonal. Also, they share many colloquial terms unique to their region. Interestingly enough, SPAT is also the lingua franca (and used in schools) within part of the Rgyalrong community (others use Southwestern Mandarin). On the other hand, the SPATs used in the periphery of the Rgyalrong people, and in Sertar, Zhaggo and Dawu, are more conversative than the standard Amdo Tibetan of Qinghai province, e.g. the consonant clusters are pronounced closer to the spelling without tendency of reduction, and preservation of final consonant to a greater extent. This could be due to the buffering effect from the mountainous landform and from the archaic Rgyalrong languages. Just a brief explanation. Amdo Tibetan is further categorized into 4 groupings, different mainly in phonology and vocabulary: Northern(Qinghai & Gansu), Southern(Sichuan), Pastoral and Agricultural. Mutual intelligibility is low between Pastoral and Agricultural. The level of conservativeness is Southern > Northern; Pastoral > Agricultural, hence SP>NP≥ SA>NA. The standard Amdo Tibetan used in media is of NP, and some of the Agricultural ones are so not conservative that they are scoffingly deemed Khams Tibetan.
Tibet was established by Ancient Han Chinese people (Ancient Han Chinese people is Sinotibetan of Qiang, Zangzhong, Kiryati). It was Chinese from first time established. Ancient Chinese has many cluster of Chinese civilization that spread and scattered through China. Last time Tibet is province of Qing Dynasty, Tibet is always be China. No debate for that 😊
So sweet & beautiful language ❤ I belong to Garo community we the garo people are a Tibeto-Burmis ethnic group also Garo language belongs to the Tibeto-Buroman family Sino-Tibetan Tibeto-Burman Central Tibeto-Burman Sal Bodo-Garo Garo Garo (A•chikku) & There's a pre historic about our ancestors, long long time ago we migrated to India from Tibet.

I just discovered your channel. I just started learning the Lhasa dialect on my own. I feel very much drawn into Tibetan and Tibetan culture, even though I am very far away. Do you recommend a particular dialect as a gateway into Classical Tibetan and to be able to read Tibetan literature? You show some clips of tv from Tibet, are there any online channels I could watch to listen to this language often?

Balti is the dialect of tibeto burman language commonly spoken in Baltisatan region of Pakistan and it still has lot of similarities with tibetian language
I really enjoy your video and I'm so thankful cause I felt very confused about differences of tibetan dialects. I think even if I am interested in learn tibetan from other regions, at leats on TH-cam and all over the web the most popular dialect to learn is from U-tsang 😢
Amazing, so experts are right tht balti spoken in north Pakistan resembles v much with amdo. We say ཁྱོད་ཀྱེ་མིང.ལ་ཅེ.ཟེར་རད་། khyod Kyi ming la chi zer red...we pronounce exactly as what is written
Hi Wangmo, I'm from Nepal, very close to Kamba & Dingye counties. What Tibetan dialect/s do people speak in these regions. I found the U-Tsang dialect (not sure) a kind similar to my language. I also subscribed to your channel.
First of all, thank you for your attention to my channel. I have no research on Tibetan language. Personally, I think your language should be a branch of ancient Tibetan.
@@wangmoandherfriends5225 Thanks for the response. It means a lot to me/us since I/we have been researching with the purpose to write Himalayan Indigenous history.
I think tibetan should try to speak in tibetan in lhasa instead of mandarin and English. It can help us invent tibetan that can be understood across all Tibet
Still, many tibetans, especially the old generation, don't understand Chinses needless to mention English. So when they don't understand other tibetan dialects, they try their best to communicate with each other, yet always only in Tibetan as at the end of the day, we share the same language. This has been the way in the past for centries as back then nobody knew Chinese in Tibet.
yeah ,the Tibetan Chinese elders still can't understand Chinese language ,actually I am shocked when I meet with some Tibetan Chinese villagers in their 30's who don't understand Chinese at all .but things changed totally in Tibet ,all the young Tibetan people can understand and speak Mandarin fluently& perfectly .now it's more like a joke for a young Tibetan Chinese need a translator to understand Mandarin in Tibet .their country is China ,speak a good Mandarin can help their future in China .
@@etiloyon3681 all I told you is true in Tibet .in Tibet no Tibetan Chinese youth ,under 30s, can't understand Mandarin .if you happen to be a young Tibetan and come to Tibet ,but you can't understand one single word of Mandarin ,you are hero .
You have missed balti language, which is spoken in major part of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan, which were used to a part of tibet dynasty once upon a time. For example; What is your name? We say; Yari mintakh po cheen? For Rice, we use " bras" For water, "sho " For Fire 🔥, "me" For mother, "Amo " For father," ataa"
Interestingly, Balti preserves the actual classical Tibetan language. The things are spelled the way they are written. This feature gradually diminishes eastwards. This might explain why I can read whole Tibetan book without spelling it properly.
Grammar is same. Amdo and Kham are incorporated into Chinese province of Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunan and Gansu. Only a portion of Kham is in Tibet Autonomous Region. In addition to Amdo, Kham and Utsang there is also Thoe Ngari which lies along the border of Himalaya. There language is more archaic than Utsang which has undergone changes. The language used in Ngari is similar to spoken language from 11AD to 15AD. These can be ascertained from the Tibetan literatures written from the days of Milarepa and Tsang Ngon Heruka of 15AD.
Whenever I see Tibetan, it reminds me of a Tibetan girls name Dolma. Though I cannot see her, I know that from her letter that she's a beautiful girl. Though I cannot see her face to face, I'll always remember her even after many years have passed.😃😃👍👍
Oh my god are the younger sister of Wengmu the Tibetan dancer. If you are, then I can speak to you in English about your older sister. Yes, it is me. I'm the one that had dreams if you're the younger sister about your older sister and how much I'm in love with her and that she's my soulmate, my wife and my life and I've been Talking to her in Chinese On a translator. On Google and if you are, please give me a comment and tell me that you are her sister so I can talk to you and maybe you can understand. Tell her that I didn't plan on anything like this. This just happened over divine power. And buddhist say people don't meet by chance. It's inner heavenly intervention. And if you are her, I truly adore and love your older sister in my heart and in my soul and in my mind. I didn't plan on this. I'm just a Messenger from him. I'm happy fixing my house and selling it. And I told her that'd all fly up there and see her, and I meant that and I just text her tonight, if you are that sister and I saw her, she was so beautiful and so radiant and her costume and I talked to her like I couldn't stop. And I'm going to bed right now cause it's late where I'm at, but if you are the sister, I'm even happier, then I can never imagine right now. It will be easier for me to talk in english.And then have have you translated to her cause once in a while? She'll send me stuff in Chinese and I don't really understand Chinese. I just did that for her to make it easier for her. Otherwise I'll leave it in English if you're her sister. And I'll give you the same mojis, as I gave your sister, and then you'll know, it's me. The one that loves your sister unconditionally. Here they are and your sister will know that it was me.😊😎🥰💘💝💥💫🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👩❤️👨🫂💯💋
བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས Wow, 才女也. I thought you were from Canada or some other English speaking countries. I am amazed to know that you have not been out of country yet can speak perfect English, just as when i first time back to my home town after living overseas for a couple years, i thought i went to a wrong place or in a dream, everything was transformed and far exceeded my imagination. When i was at junior high, my English teacher pronounced the same word differently each time (it was not hard to figure out she did not know English beyond ABC but my school could not find any one better). I was among the wave of students in late 90 early 2000s went US to pursue Doctoral education, i have not encountered any one in this group (be my classmate, friend or colleague) who speaks English without obvious accent, i suspect that their earlier English teachers might not be much better than mine then. The first time i saw a foreigner and listened to a native person speaking English was in my sophomore and we had to fight for it - there was a young college student from American to teach a summer course in English department in our university to earn some money for traveling in China. We were so excited, i am not sure the excitement was from the zealous about learning English or just wanted to see a foreign young lady (洋妞)， when she entered the filled auditorium, a fight broken out, students fighting for the first row seats…
Thank you for sharing! It's very helpful😊👍☕❤️It's true bcz many my other foreigner friends who are learning Tibetan asking abt it and some of them struggle with which dialect they should choose and learn...

But all dialects are beautiful in their own way. I love all our Tibetan brothers and sisters we r all together in this one land called Great Tibet ❤️ #longlivehisholiness 🙏
Any language is formed by history and has its own reason for existence. Let's let nature take its course.
@@wangmoandherfriends5225 many books for learning tibetan are written with Ü-Tsang dialect, so.. it's very difficult for me too to understand another dialects...Tibetan is really complicated and if I will preoccupate by another dialects I'll never get it))
बहुत बहुत शुक्रिया
I’m going to have to ask my friend’s mom where they from. They sound like the U-Tsang dialect.

Very well and i appreciated you very much what you have done that explain for Tibetan language. Well, as you know `´ let`s go with together`` song by Phurbu Ti Namgyal and who is living now USA. He was born in India and he is still well known singer in our society and i think his parent came from Central Tibetan (Uzang) as well.
yes! he is a very popular singer, and musician.

Hi, Wangmo! Is there a "Standard" Tibetan dialect that unifies the spoken language? From what I've heard before (and I could absolutely be wrong), the U-Tsang dialect is considered the standard, as it's the one spoken in Lhasa, but how much of that is true?
Just wondering, do you know if the "Rgyal wrong (རྒྱལ་རོང་ / 嘉戎語)" language or dialect of the Qiangic language subgroup resembles any of the 3 dialects? Thanks!
That's an insightful question. Rgyalrong languages sound like the Southern Pastoral Amdo Tibetan, hereafter SPAT, spoken in Ganzi Prefecture of Sichuan, to an average-untrained ear. Reasons being that both groups have retained many initial consonant clusters, and can be none tonal. Also, they share many colloquial terms unique to their region. Interestingly enough, SPAT is also the lingua franca (and used in schools) within part of the Rgyalrong community (others use Southwestern Mandarin).
On the other hand, the SPATs used in the periphery of the Rgyalrong people, and in Sertar, Zhaggo and Dawu, are more conversative than the standard Amdo Tibetan of Qinghai province, e.g. the consonant clusters are pronounced closer to the spelling without tendency of reduction, and preservation of final consonant to a greater extent. This could be due to the buffering effect from the mountainous landform and from the archaic Rgyalrong languages.
Just a brief explanation. Amdo Tibetan is further categorized into 4 groupings, different mainly in phonology and vocabulary: Northern(Qinghai & Gansu), Southern(Sichuan), Pastoral and Agricultural. Mutual intelligibility is low between Pastoral and Agricultural. The level of conservativeness is Southern > Northern; Pastoral > Agricultural, hence SP>NP≥ SA>NA. The standard Amdo Tibetan used in media is of NP, and some of the Agricultural ones are so not conservative that they are scoffingly deemed Khams Tibetan.
Tibet was established by Ancient Han Chinese people (Ancient Han Chinese people is Sinotibetan of Qiang, Zangzhong, Kiryati). It was Chinese from first time established. Ancient Chinese has many cluster of Chinese civilization that spread and scattered through China. Last time Tibet is province of Qing Dynasty, Tibet is always be China. No debate for that 😊
So sweet & beautiful language ❤

I just discovered your channel. I just started learning the Lhasa dialect on my own. I feel very much drawn into Tibetan and Tibetan culture, even though I am very far away. Do you recommend a particular dialect as a gateway into Classical Tibetan and to be able to read Tibetan literature? You show some clips of tv from Tibet, are there any online channels I could watch to listen to this language often?

I have a question what do you guys keep in the bowls which are placed behind you? I have seen such bowls in some Buddhist shrines, but was unable to make out what they contain ?😊
It's water. It is called "holy water" in Tibetan Buddhism. Seven or nine bowls will be placed in front of the Buddhist shrine in the home.

Hi good afternoon བཀྲིས་བདེ་ལེགས་
Are there any associations between the Kham dialect and the Dongzu ethnic minority? Some Dongzu called themselves Kham so I’m curious.
No, Dongzu are related to Thai and they are called Gaeml, the correct spelling of Kam, which is very different from Khams.
Hello! How do I say Grandmother in Kham dialect. Please let me know, thank you
Good job thanks for you ❤❤❤

I really enjoy your video and I'm so thankful cause I felt very confused about differences of tibetan dialects. I think even if I am interested in learn tibetan from other regions, at leats on TH-cam and all over the web the most popular dialect to learn is from U-tsang 😢
Thank you for the informative video. I didn’t understand the difference till I watched your video.
It should be slightly different.
Hi, I'm from Amdo, And we say ཁྱོད་ཀྱི་མིང་ང་ཅེ་ཟེར་ར། "Chod Jie Meng Nga Je Ser ra"

I want to know my origin of language, my tribes are migrated from Tibet to India centuries ago, pls help me
Hi Wangmo, I'm from Nepal, very close to Kamba & Dingye counties. What Tibetan dialect/s do people speak in these regions. I found the U-Tsang dialect (not sure) a kind similar to my language. I also subscribed to your channel.
First of all, thank you for your attention to my channel. I have no research on Tibetan language. Personally, I think your language should be a branch of ancient Tibetan.
@@wangmoandherfriends5225 Thanks for the response. It means a lot to me/us since I/we have been researching with the purpose to write Himalayan Indigenous history.
I think tibetan should try to speak in tibetan in lhasa instead of mandarin and English. It can help us invent tibetan that can be understood across all Tibet
We originally use Tibetan in our lives, but here we only use English.
Great fact🌹🙏
Still, many tibetans, especially the old generation, don't understand Chinses needless to mention English. So when they don't understand other tibetan dialects, they try their best to communicate with each other, yet always only in Tibetan as at the end of the day, we share the same language. This has been the way in the past for centries as back then nobody knew Chinese in Tibet.
yeah ,the Tibetan Chinese elders still can't understand Chinese language ,actually I am shocked when I meet with some Tibetan Chinese villagers in their 30's who don't understand Chinese at all .but things changed totally in Tibet ,all the young Tibetan people can understand and speak Mandarin fluently& perfectly .now it's more like a joke for a young Tibetan Chinese need a translator to understand Mandarin in Tibet .their country is China ,speak a good Mandarin can help their future in China .
I thought they would write it down, since they share the same written language?
@@malorybertie8046 Is it a kind of joke or you mean it seriously?
@@etiloyon3681 all I told you is true in Tibet .in Tibet no Tibetan Chinese youth ,under 30s, can't understand Mandarin .if you happen to be a young Tibetan and come to Tibet ,but you can't understand one single word of Mandarin ,you are hero .
You have missed balti language, which is spoken in major part of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan, which were used to a part of tibet dynasty once upon a time.
For example;
What is your name?
We say;
Yari mintakh po cheen?
For Rice, we use " bras"
For water, "sho "
For Fire 🔥, "me"
For mother, "Amo "
For father," ataa"
Thank you for your attention. People living in the the Himalayas have some similarities in language and culture. Tashi delek.
Interestingly, Balti preserves the actual classical Tibetan language.
The things are spelled the way they are written. This feature gradually diminishes eastwards.
This might explain why I can read whole Tibetan book without spelling it properly.
@@Ranjul_kumar Now balti language is considering as , endanger.
@@evergreenpak9882
Indeed.
People are now preffering Hindi/Urdu over Balti. Might have to take from jobs and stuff.
@@Ranjul_kumar Yes, that's the reason
Grammar is same. Amdo and Kham are incorporated into Chinese province of Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunan and Gansu. Only a portion of Kham is in Tibet Autonomous Region. In addition to Amdo, Kham and Utsang there is also Thoe Ngari which lies along the border of Himalaya. There language is more archaic than Utsang which has undergone changes. The language used in Ngari is similar to spoken language from 11AD to 15AD. These can be ascertained from the Tibetan literatures written from the days of Milarepa and Tsang Ngon Heruka of 15AD.
You are so gorgeous wangmo la ❤️

Oh my god are the younger sister of Wengmu the Tibetan dancer. If you are, then I can speak to you in English about your older sister. Yes, it is me. I'm the one that had dreams if you're the younger sister about your older sister and how much I'm in love with her and that she's my soulmate, my wife and my life and I've been Talking to her in Chinese
On a translator.
On Google and if you are, please give me a comment and tell me that you are her sister so I can talk to you and maybe you can understand. Tell her that I didn't plan on anything like this. This just happened over divine power.
And buddhist say people don't meet by chance. It's inner heavenly intervention.
And if you are her, I truly adore and love your older sister in my heart and in my soul and in my mind.
I didn't plan on this. I'm just a Messenger from him. I'm happy fixing my house and selling it. And I told her that'd all fly up there and see her, and I meant that and I just text her tonight, if you are that sister and I saw her, she was so beautiful and so radiant and her costume and I talked to her like I couldn't stop. And I'm going to bed right now cause it's late where I'm at, but if you are the sister, I'm even happier, then I can never imagine right now. It will be easier for me to talk in english.And then have have you translated to her cause once in a while? She'll send me stuff in Chinese and I don't really understand Chinese. I just did that for her to make it easier for her. Otherwise I'll leave it in English if you're her sister. And I'll give you the same mojis, as I gave your sister, and then you'll know, it's me.
The one that loves your sister unconditionally.
Here they are and your sister will know that it was me.😊😎🥰💘💝💥💫🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👩❤️👨🫂💯💋
I am burmese (Burman) and our alphabet is very similar to tibet since it's tibetan burman. But the speaking is quite different.
Really interesting Wangmo. Thank you for posting. One question - did you find it difficult to learn U-Tsang? Was it a completely new thing?
its not a differnt language....its 65% interchangeable
Looks like I speak a mixture of u-tsang and kham

Wow, 才女也. I thought you were from Canada or some other English speaking countries. I am amazed to know that you have not been out of country yet can speak perfect English, just as when i first time back to my home town after living overseas for a couple years, i thought i went to a wrong place or in a dream, everything was transformed and far exceeded my imagination. When i was at junior high, my English teacher pronounced the same word differently each time (it was not hard to figure out she did not know English beyond ABC but my school could not find any one better). I was among the wave of students in late 90 early 2000s went US to pursue Doctoral education, i have not encountered any one in this group (be my classmate, friend or colleague) who speaks English without obvious accent, i suspect that their earlier English teachers might not be much better than mine then. The first time i saw a foreigner and listened to a native person speaking English was in my sophomore and we had to fight for it - there was a young college student from American to teach a summer course in English department in our university to earn some money for traveling in China. We were so excited, i am not sure the excitement was from the zealous about learning English or just wanted to see a foreign young lady (洋妞)， when she entered the filled auditorium, a fight broken out, students fighting for the first row seats…
Nice keep it up 🔥🙏

What about Bhutanese language? (Dzongkha)
I am a han Chinese who can understand tibetan .it is interesting that I can understand almost 80% Dzongka website ,but when I listen to the Bhutanese speaking Dzongka,I can only get 30% the meaning 😂.maybe I never been to Bhutan ,if I try to live in Bhutan for a while ,and study hard, perhaps I can understand more about their talking .
@Malory Bertie I think it's because of the difdrrence in accents and variation in pronunciation of words and letters.
I am from bhutan and The same thing happens to me with tibetan...I can understand a lot of written tibetan but can't understand much when I listen to spoken tibetan because of the accent
I think dzongkha is much more similar to ütsang dialect. Haa and paro dzongkha and bhutia language of sikkim is very similar
@@Hulaloopops3i9s it is interesting .I am a han Chinese ,actually Chinese language has a lot of dialects too ,for example the people in Beijing can't understand what the locals in HongKong speak .when Tibetan in lhasa listen to Bhutanese speak ,perhaps he can guess 20~40% if he has never met with Bhutanese before ,but a people in Beijing listen to HongKong dialect ,10%，Shanghainese ,15%, Taiwanese dialect ,5~0%😂
@Malory Bertie haha i was going through a video regarding old Chinese and saw many similarities with tibetan and our language .... I guess all sino-tibetan languages originated from one common language.
Moreover I am interested in mandarin Chinese and I am trying to learn it lol.
Actually four. Gyarong is a unique one
what I find is there is little difference in accent or else understandable of all three provinces language

All three dialects sounds beautiful. But I largely heard UTsang dialect. In sikkim we say " choe ke ming ghan bo?" If ask in honorific way than " tshen ghan shudo la"
There are indeed many honorific titles in UTsang dialect.
Sikkimese and dzongkha are quite similar in terms of vocab.
We say the same way in the dzongkha spoken in paro and haa district of bhutan
