Hi, we’re looking for 50-70 Tibetan Speakers for a Transcription project. We can pay up to $6 or Rs 500 per Hour of Audio Transcribed. DM me if Interested.

How to translate: "A pillar for peace is the people's right to freely determine their own destiny."

Does anyone have a resource of the 59 lojong བློ་སྦྱོང being read aloud? I want to learn to recite some of them in Tibetan but I still struggle with pronunciation. Thanks!

Hi! I'm looking for a colloquial Tibetan tutor for zoom lessons. Preferably on US time zone. I've tried with India time zone before and found it hard to keep up with it. Looking for 1-2hrs per week. I'm trying to get some conversational practice as my wife is Tibetan and want to be able to better interact with her family. Any leads?

Hi! I'm using ibus with the following inputs from m17n:

Tibetan bo-ewts

Tibetan bo-tcrc

Tibetan bo-wylie

And I have Tibetan Machine Uni as my selected font. I've tried a few keyboard shortcuts for input: super + space, and ctrl + space, but they didn't work either. I checked to make sure my default language is set to None but I'm still not getting any ability to type in Tibetan.

Is there a primer out there on this topic? I think I might just be using the wrong apps? Thank you for reading!

Hello, fellow Tibetan language learners. I have been learning Tibetan for 2 years and over the summer wrote a Tibetan song called "Could Sun Shine for Night?" I am very excited to share with you guys:!

If you could listen to the song and leave some feedback below this post, it would be much appreciated.

The lyrics and link are attached below:

རྨོ་མོའི་ཁང་པའི་ཐོག་ཁར།

རི་མདུན་གྱི་རླངས་འཁོར་བརྩིས།

ཨ་མ་ག་དུས་ཡོང་།

སང་ཉིན་སང་ཉིན་རེ་བ་ཡོད།

ཤིང་དྲུང་གི་རྡོར་བྱི་དོར་བྱེད།

འདི་ང་ཡི་ཕོ་བྲང་ཡིན། 

ངས་འདི་འོད་རྒྱབ་རུ་འཇུག  

ལམ་ལམ་ལམ་ལམ་ཆགས་ཀྱི་རེད།

ཉི་མ་དགོང་མོར་ཡར་ཤར། 

ཆར་པ་མཁའ་དབྱིངས་སུ་ལྷུང་། 

ངས་མཛུབ་མོས་ཟླ་བ་བཙིར། 

འགྲམ་གྱི་རྫིང་བུའི་ནང་དུ་བཞག 

ང་གྲོང་ཁྱེར་དཀྱིལ་ལ་ཡོད། 

འགྲོ་འོང་གི་མི་ཚོགས་ལ་བལྟས།

ཁོ་ཚོའི་མིག་དམར་པོ་མཐོང་།

ཉི་མ་དགོང་མོར་འོད་འཚེར། 

ཆར་ཆུ་མཁའ་དབྱིངས་སུ་ལྷུང་། 

དེ་དུས་ངའི་མགོ་ཐོག་ཨར་འདམ་མེད།

རྒུན་འབྲུམ་གྱི་ཡལ་གའི་སྒྲ་ཁོ་ན་ཐོས།

To Boat the Light

I've learned foreign languages before, so I feel weird moving on to learning vocab and grammar before I can correctly pronounce the language, but also I don't know how long people normally spend learning to pronounce Tibetan (in their favorite dialect).

I'm personally learning Lhasa dialect, but while I'm not a stranger to retroflected sounds and German-style vowels, the rules on what gets modified into what seem very complicated, and I'd like to be able to not only read but also write effectively (not just memorize words but know what combinations are actually possible in Tibetan).

Is there a good place to specifically practice / learn this skill, and how long does it normally take?

Hello,
I want to translate the following sentence to Tibetan:

"Humbly, I bow before the wonder of the entire existence of the universe".

Can anybody help me to translate this to Tibetan? (without the quotation marks)

Thank you,
Tenzin

Please tell me the meaning of the name, Dalamu. Thanks.

Hello! i am really interested in reading buddhist texts written in classical tibetan, which language is closest to that? i heard maybe Balti or Ladakhi or Purgi?

Never heard of VOA or other overseas Tibetan TV programs or videos using this?

Please help me translate this

སེམས་ཁྲལ་མ་གནང་རོགས། ཐ་མི་ཚེ་འདི་ངས་ཀྱི་ཤེས་སོང་།

ང་ཡིས་གཞས་ཅིག་བཏང་བ་གཅིག་པོ་མིན། མི་ཚེ་སྐྱལ་དུས་ཡིན་ནས་ཁྱེད་དྲན། ད་རུང་ ཁྱེད་ཀྱི་སེམས་ཆུང་དེ་ལ་ཕོག་བཅུག་ན། དགོངས་དག་ཨ་མ་ལགས།

These are two different segment of lyric from the song མ། by Rytha, I really want to know the meaning because the song is really good. I do know it’s about mother so it’s even better.

I am looking for the word playful in Tibetan. The word I am thinking of is 4 - 7 letters in length that is spelled something like geiga or geiva or geiga with Wylie transliteration. Any suggestions?

For those of you who are confident that you're fluent in colloquial Tibetan, how long did it take you? I'm looking to eventually ordain in a Tibetan monastery in Nepal after I complete my studies, and wanted to know about how long the process would take. Thank you all in advance!

Why does Joe Wilson in Translating Buddhism from Tibetan represent the first column of Tibetan letters as voiced rather than unvoiced?

So ཀ is ga, ཅ is ja, ཏ is d etc.

As he explains the difference between the letters is tone and aspiration, not voicing, so I don't understand why he does this.

I’ve only ever seen it used with the Kalachakra mantra but this isn’t that. Can anyone read this? Thanks in advance for your thoughts or insights!

Can someone give me the English translation of Tibetan song "Sung dhang Lema so " here .

I'm obsessed with that song 🎵. Love from 🇮🇳 India to my Tibetan Folks .

བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། Greetings, you all. I am currently using a MacBook Pro 2020 and am experiencing difficulty acclimating to the Wylie Tibetan Keyboard. Additionally, I have acquired an additional keyboard. I would be extremely grateful if someone could provide me with tutorials or guidance.
