Tenzin Norgay is a Tibetan. As he said in the beginning of the video. His parent moved to Solokhumbu and he was born in Nepal.

For those who gets confused with Tibetan and sherpa let me clear......before unification of nepal, sherpa doesnt use sherpa as a surname they had names like Tibetans to be precise it nevere existed thats why most sherpas have name with first name middle name and last surname.. After unification the king wanted to bring sherpas under the Nepali cast system and so the sherpas adopted sherpa as a cast as most of the other community known sherpas as sherpa or sarwa. Which literally means Eastern People which concludes that the sherpas have tibetan origin and it was around 1400 BC that they came to present day Nepal for settlement....and as per why tenzing norgar used sherpa as his tital was because because hei parents came to Nepal from tibet like any othe sherpas came from ...so in general according to Nepali cast system whoever came to Nepal from tibet were considered as sherpas at that time....and in sherpa community their are waves of migration from Tibet and so the sherpa language itself have different accent or say dialect....so conclusively Tenzing norgay came to nepal with one of the wave of migration...

[@dhondupgyatso7603]

Wow! Tenzin Norgay ??? You speak pure Tibetan, better than anyone. But how come you declared as Sherpa, a Nepali and not Tibetan when you were able to conquer the Mt. Everest and became famous??

[@mrnobody3688]

It clearly shows he has a blood of tibet. And heart of Nepal.

[@taidelek9994]

Thats why Nepal is the worst place for tibetan refugees

“Unique to Tibetans are variants of the EGLN1 and EPAS1 genes, key genes in the oxygen homeostasis system at all altitudes. These variants were hypothesized to have evolved around 3,000 years ago, a date which conflicts with much older archaeological evidence of human settlement in Tibet.” Tibetan are born with this shit. Cmon now.. the sons and daughters of avalokiteshvara 🙏

[@rinsang2447]

I just wanna ask that where did Tenzin Norgay born and why he didn't mention his birth place. In this world people are always mentioning their birth place and and why didn't ?

[@moonsmiles3000]

Tibetans are not upto tibet like Nepalis are not upto nepal.....we all are scattered in different places due to demarcation of borders......and the consequences of demarcation is faced by community residing in borders by identity crisis....like we sherpas sometimes face it like if people asked us where you from we have to think before answering cuz sherpas are not only in Nepal...they are in tibet bhutan arunachal and india darjeeling...so basically we all are tibetan with different nationalities...

[@kms5750]

He is nepali sherpa not tibati nepali sherpa and tibeti language and culture is very different not same Some tibetan is moved in nepal

[@mrnobody3688]

Ya he clearly says his parents are straight from tibet. He is ethnically Tibetan and his nationality is Nepali

[@Zoogy_zoo]

[@JonathanKumar-zp9fv]
