Tibetan has a very strong presence in the media, however. There are more than 20 Tibetan language newspapers and magazines to be found in Tibet alone. Some radio and television stations broadcast in Tibetan, and even Tibetan language films are occasionally produced. There are also book publishers who print books in Tibetan.

As it’s the official language, all governmental, judiciary, and administrative forms, as well as all street signs in Tibet, are bilingual.

Linguistic idiosyncrasies of Tibetan

Classical and Modern Standard Tibetan are no different from each other when written. Tibetan is made up of several dialects, however, which are not entirely mutually intelligible.

Tibetan is linguistically classified as an inflected, ergative language. A distinctive feature is how abstract nouns are formed by combining opposing adjectives. The word for temperature, "tsha-grang," is literally the combination of the two adjectives for hot and cold. Tibetan also has a special word order in that the subject always comes first, followed by the object, and finally the verb.

Flawless translations into and from Tibetan

If you’re in Tibet on business, or you’re doing business with someone in Tibet, you may need a translation into the language.
