About the Tibetan language

Long live Tibetan language and Tibetan culture !!

[@DrukmoGyal]

Tashi delek! Thank you for sharing this video, loved it! Unfortunately, your editing tool didn´t allow Tibetan words to manifest in the right ways, so here are the examples you used in the video: 11:49 - བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། 12:38 - སུམ་རྟགས 12:48 - ཁོང་བོད་པ་རེད། 12:57 - བོད་ལ་ཁོང་ཡོད་རེད། 14:20 - བོད་ལ་ཁོང་འདུག། 14:37 - ཡོད་རེད་ 15:21 - fire མེ་ Greetings Drukmo Gyal

[@charlestorres9585]

And འདུག for 'tuk (the auxiliary) There is also some debate about whether Tibetan was originally monosyllabic. The prefix consonant clusters may have been (sesqui-)syllables at one point.

[@Atrocitus-k2j]

The Tibetan script is one of the most beautiful and intriguing of all writing systems….I hope to someday devote some time to actually learning it!

[@thomasnaas2813]

Sound is different in the mountains.

[@me0101001000]

I'm certain the acoustics of mountains and ravines shaped the development of these languages. I wonder if anyone has studied the properties of these languages from a geographic deterministic point of view.

I have a book on Old Tibetan that I got from my linguistics program, and they genuinely are such an incredible, albeit very complex, language family. It’s gorgeous to listen to, and has such a wonderful bouncy sound to them haha.

[@fabianalonsohernandezvazqu6339]

Thanks Juli. I was the one who suggested to research Tibetan for a future video, and I am very pleased with your outcome. I learned many things, and I believe I was right about Tibetan being such and interesting, and fairly unknown language and culture. There is also a long literary tradition (the Epic of Gesar for example) and a lot of untranslated manuscripts. So even such a broad video still leaves a lot of more interesting things to discover. I hope you had as much fun doing it as I did watching it.

[@AhmadChuzgapa]

I am from Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. I am Balti and we use the same script when writing the Balti language. Its amazing to see how widely used the Tibetan script is.

[@SwissSona]

First of all. Thank you very much for your effort on this Topic. I am an exile Tibetan and writer in Tibetan language. Here you shared a views on Tibetan language which is generally common Tibetan people’s view. I am not against this. But, if we looked deeply into Tibetan Grammar system and pronunciation of Tibetans and the area where Tibetan language and scripture using on daily basis or for Tibetan Buddhism. Here you can find just some dialects through the history of Tibet. Which is divided into Tibetan farmer languages and Tibetan nomads languages. Through the years of my knowledge. There are no Kham, Amdo and Utsang languages. Because those names are base on area. Not based on language. I mean, base on your view, you can find Amdo language in Bhutan and Utsang.

[@ClaimClam]

[@ZadenZane]

What a gorgeous language! Could you please do a video on Occitan? It's a language spoken from Northern Spain across the South of France into Italy. It sounds like dialect Italian with a French accent and at one time it was the most spoken language in France. It's also called Languedoc, Provençal and Occitano, a language bursting with songs and poems and folk literature.

[@prathameshdeshpande1668]

Bonjorn! I am currently learning its 'sister language' Catalan in Barcelona, but I have also briefly been to southern France. Avignon was the most memorable city. Love and respect to Occitan ❤

[@osasunaitor]

​@@prathameshdeshpande1668Catalan is the closest language to Occitan, I speak a bit of Catalan and when I visited Toulouse I was delighted to see that I could understand most of the written Occitan. Unfortunately hearing spoken Occitan is becoming less and less common due to the French centralist policies :(

[@PomegranateChocolate]

@@tenzindolma2253 I agree with you. In February 1951, three and a half years after the British Raj has left the subcontinent and India was created, India finally trekked up to Tawang, South Tibet and annexed it. The Tibetan Lhasa government protested to India but to no avail. Tawang is the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four hundred years old Tawang Monastery. In 1987 India renamed South Tibet to the so-called Arunachal Pradesh and make it a state. Today after seven decades of thuggish Indian rule, South Tibet is restless and India knows it. India reacted by imposing the draconian AFSPA on South Tibet. AFSPA (Armed Force Special Power Act) gives the Indian state the power to detain or killed anyone with impunity. It is a law design to intimidate the local people. AFSPA is imposed on area India deemed 'disturbed', such as South Tibet and Kashmir. Free South Tibet from India.

The biggest beneficiary of Tibet's independence is the United States, while the biggest victim is Tibet itself. He will lose transfer payments from China, become poor, and then be used as an insignificant pawn by the United States in dividing and controlling East Asia.

Very cool. I learned a lot. Please note there are quite a few spelling errors in the Tibetan graphics where the vowels are misplaced. For example the “naro” should be over the Ba not the Da in the word for Tibet བོད་. There are others as well. Otherwise great content thank you!

[@korashortss]

It took about 300 years to develop Tibetan language because Tibetan emperors was sending Tibetans to study Bhuddhist hybrid Sanskrit in Bhuddhist universities like Nalanda in India. Whole Central administration was involved in this project and there used to be a seperate translation department which includes Bhuddhist scholar from India and Tibetan scholar trained in Bhuddhist hybrid Sanskrit. 🙏🙏🙏

[@PemaChan]

Thank you Julie!🤗 I can't wait to study Tibetan. I feel it is important because it needs to continue to exist. Right now I am in Nepal visiting my Newari friend. Here they speak many languages, according to my friend. Have you ever done a video about Newari? If yes I say to you, Jo Jo Lapa.😀

[@aa6eheia156]

Tibetan language and scripts will continue to exist due to huge fundings for it by different governments and INGOs but Newari language and scripts are vulnerable. Newars have many original scripts like Ranjana and Nepal Lipi but most Newari people don't understand as Nepal uses Devanagari and English script to teach in schools

It is interesting how humans have developed different sounds to convey thought .

Thanks for the share mystic woman ! :O)

[@osasunaitor]

As a Basque I'm pleased to see that Juli has so much appreciation for my language :D I was shocked to learn that Tibetan also has the ergative case, although the language theory she explained (the worldwide Dene-Caucasian language family) doesn't have much consensus among linguists and remains a marginal theory.

[@gerald-dw7vp]

Aye ; the fact that ergative exists in 2 languages doesn't mean they are related in any way. There are languages that are related and some have the ergative and others don't... Afaik Tibetan and Chinese are related, Tibetan has the ergative, not Chinese (anymore). Kurdish has ergative, not Persian, while they are related. Hindi has ergative, not Sanskrit (its ancestor !), etc...

[@RicardoBaptista33]

I loved the sound of the Amado variant, perhaps because of the strong consonant clusters. I found it curious that at times the phonetics reminded me of a mixture of Japanese and Turkish.

[@damian_madmansnest]

Amdo Tibetan phonetics is close to Mongolian which is quite similar to that of Turkic languages.

[@osasunaitor]

Ohhh that's why!! For a moment I thought I was hearing Kazakh or some similar Central Asian Turkic language

[@sonam1959_]

It sounds nothing like Japanese, but yes Turkic and it is due to our close relations with Oirats, and Uyghurs

[@barguttobed]

@@sonam1959_ Oirats are Mongolian, i doubt that Tibetans from Aldo had close contact with Uygurs(maybe Yellow Uyghurs « Yugur » people who live there near Kokonor) But there are definitely Oirat Mongolian people living there, they belong to Khoshuud tribe also they are known as Deed Mongols(Upper Mongols).

ཐུགས་རྗེཞེ་དྲག་ཆེ་། (tujay shita-chay), Julie. Nice video. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

[@Безвсякихукрашений]

Video is really helpful for people who didn't herd about Tibetan or didn't herd too much. Ortography is really complicated even for native speakers sometimes :D The main problem with ortography in your video is that vowel mark should be placed upper (ghigu, drengbo, naaro) or below (shyabkyu) the root letter. It is very important. For example in your sentence it should looks like that: བོད་ལ་ཁོང་ཡོད་རེད། I saw that you speak "yod-re". The important point is that all prefixes and some suffixes ("da", "sa" and of course the 2nd suffix "sa") are silent, but they could change pronounciation of the vowel - suffix letters "da", "na", "la", "sa" change "a" to "ä", "o" to "ö" and "u" to "ü". So yod.red should be pronounced as "yö-re". Prefix (ALWAYS) or head letter (sometimes) make root letter stronger . Because basically "ga" is more like "ka" with lower tone, only with preffix it becames GA like in word "bGu" (pronounced as GU) - nine. Subscirbed letters (mainly "added ya" and "added ra") could change pronounciation of some root letters. Also there is one difficult matter about tibetan - spelling. But is useless unless you wouldn't like to learn classical tibetan or try to communicate with native speakers. Tibetan ortography hasn't changed for ages, but modern colloqiual grammar is very different from the classical one. For me the classical one sometimes is more simple...

[@sonamtsephel7319]

Thank u that was brief and beautifully explained

[@damian_madmansnest]

Speaking about the poetic nature of the language, Tibetan poetic culture is derived from Indian (Sanskrit), classic Sanskrit treatises on poetry like Kāvyādarśa are well known and studied in Tibetan monasteries, and while not many Tibetan lamas currently know Sanskrit, practically all of them can write poetry (also due to the isolating nature of Tibetan and lack of short and long vowel distinction it is much easier than writing Sanskrit poetry). And of course, all traditional Sanskrit metaphors are well known in the Tibetan culture.

[@sankettt]

😂😂 sanskrit itself is derived from Pali.

[@damian_madmansnest]

@@sankettt Sanskrit is a literary standard. Of course it was based on spoken language around the time when the standard was formed. Much earlier than Pali though 🙃

[@sankettt]

@@damian_madmansnest go and first search for the meaning of the name sanskrit. sanskrit means refined or perfected. so from which language it is refined? or perfected? It is the Pali language from which it has refined and perfected.

[@damian_madmansnest]

@@sankettt Please don’t insult my intelligence by presuming I don’t know the meaning of the term ‘Sanskrit’ or the history of its development. Pali is a Middle Indo-Aryan language extant from 3rd century BC when it was spoken. The earliest Sanskrit is Vedic Sanskrit which was codified in 17th century BC, about 1400 years before Pali. Therefore, the spoken language that Sanskrit was based on (‘refined’ from) could not have been Pali, but it’s much earlier predecessor.

[@sankettt]

@@damian_madmansnest sanskrit is no older than BC. translate and watch this video if you can👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXywl2uNbLVpsLMsi=YqjS--HnfLww_O-C by the way are you a foreigner or indian?

ས in ཁམས་ is silent, therefore, Kham. Kham can be distinguished from Lhasa TIbetan mostly by vowel changes. A /ɒ/, like in Hungarian, while o is /ʌ/. Also vocabulary in Kham is closer to Amdo than to Lhasa. Usually, Kham speakers have the least problem understanding both Amdo and Lhasa Tibetan. The hardest is Amdo Tibetan for Lhasa speakers.
