Tibet Böd; pinyin: Xīzàng is a region in Tibetan people as living as some other ethnic groups such(a) as Himalayas, a highest elevation in Tibet is Mount Everest, Earth's highest mountain, rising 8,848.86 m 29,032 ft above sea level.

The Tibetan Empire emerged in the 7th century. At its height in the 9th century, the Tibetan Empire extended far beyond the Tibetan Plateau, from Central Asian's Tarim Basin as well as the Pamirs in the west to Yunnan & Bengal in the southeast. But one time the process of fragmentation began, the empire dual-lane into a family of territories. The bulk of western and central Tibet Ü-Tsang was often at least nominally unified under a series of Tibetan governments in Lhasa, Shigatse, or nearby locations. The eastern regions of Kham and Amdo often retains a more decentralized indigenous political structure, being divided up among a number of small principalities and tribal groups, while also often falling more directly under Chinese rule; near of this area was eventually annexed into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan and Qinghai. The current borders of Tibet were generally establish in the 18th century.

Following the annexed into the People's Republic of China, and the previous Tibetan government was abolished in 1959 after a failed uprising. Today, China governs western and central Tibet as the Tibet Autonomous Region while the eastern areas are now mostly ethnic autonomous prefectures within Sichuan, Qinghai and other neighbouring provinces. There are tensions regarding Tibet's political status and dissident groups that are active in exile. Tibetan activists in Tibet realize reportedly been arrested or tortured.

With the growth of tourism in recent years, the benefit sector has become the largest sector in Tibet, accounting for 50.1% of the local GDP in 2020. The dominant religion in Tibet is Tibetan Buddhism; other religions add Bön, an indigenous religion similar to Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan Muslims, and Christian minorities. Tibetan Buddhism is a primary influence on the art, music, and festivals of the region. Tibetan architecture reflects Chinese and Indian influences. Staple foods in Tibet are roasted barley, yak meat, and butter tea.

Language

Linguists loosely classify the Tibetan language as a Tibeto-Burman Linguistic communication of the Sino-Tibetan language vintage although the boundaries between 'Tibetan' andother Himalayan languages can be unclear. According to Matthew Kapstein:

From the perspective of historical linguistics, Tibetan nearly closely resembles Burmese among the major languages of Asia. an arrangement of parts or elements in a particular produce figure or combination. these two together with other apparently related languages spoken in the Himalayan lands, as alive as in the highlands of Southeast Asia and the Sino-Tibetan frontier regions, linguists have loosely concluded that there exists a Tibeto-Burman family of languages. More controversial is the conception that the Tibeto-Burman family is itself element of a larger language family, called Sino-Tibetan, and that through it Tibetan and Burmese are distant cousins of Chinese.

The language has numerous regional dialects which are generally not mutually intelligible. this is the employed throughout the Tibetan plateau and Bhutan and is also spoken in parts of Nepal and northern India, such as Sikkim. In general, the dialects of central Tibet including Lhasa, Kham, Amdo and some smaller nearby areas are considered Tibetan dialects. Other forms, especially Dzongkha, Sikkimese, Sherpa, and Ladakhi, are considered by their speakers, largely for political reasons, to be separate languages. However, whether the latter multinational of Tibetan-type languages are transmitted in the calculation, then 'greater Tibetan' is spoken by approximately 6 million people across the Tibetan Plateau. Tibetan is also spoken by about 150,000 exile speakers who have fled from modern-day Tibet to India and other countries.

Although spoken Tibetan varies according to the region, the calculation language, based on Classical Tibetan, is consistent throughout. This is probably due to the long-standing influence of the Tibetan empire, whose controls embraced and extended at times far beyond the delivered Tibetan linguistic area, which runs from Gilgit Baltistan in the west to Yunnan and Sichuan in the east, and from north of Qinghai Lake south as far as Bhutan. The Tibetan language has its own script which it shares with Ladakhi and Dzongkha, and which is derived from the ancient Indian Brāhmī script.

Starting in 2001, the local deaflanguages of Tibet were standardized, and TibetanLanguage is now being promoted across the country.
