TIBETAN LANGUAGE
Tibetan Alphabet
The creation of the Tibetan script is attributed to Thonmi Sambhota of the mid- 7th century . The tradition holds that Thonmi Sambhota, a minister of Songtsen Gampo (569-649), was sent to India to study the art of writing, and upon his return introduced the Tibetan script. The form of the letters is based on an Indic alphabet of that period, but which specific Indic script inspired the Tibetan alphabet remains controversial.
Below is the basic alphabet.
