Hi, does anybody know what the tibetan terms for these would be?

Thanks!

Can anyone enlighten me what is the difference between Otani, Wylie and Qwerty on Mac? Heard Himalaya is apparently the “standard”? Just starting to learn the language and a bit confused on which is the best type writing option…thank you!!

I have an old PDF that opens and displays the Tibetan fine. The font is Dedris. When I copy paste the text or export the document I get random text "(J-(%- YA.-0: A-$+ R?-.%-3*3; " Is there anyway I can convert this to unicode?

I've tried a bunch of tools already and nothing seems to work. Possibly because to use any of the tools first I need to export the document to another file type.

So I have come across these following two words:

1. tsi= mouse

2. tsi= medicine

i. Can you tell me if these two words have the same pronunciation?

ii. It would be cool if you can provide two sentences in Tibetan with these two words in those sentences. Please provide the meanings along with them.

Thank you!

What are the main differences between the Lantsa script used in Tibet for prayers and mantras and the Ranjana script of Nepal, used to write the Newar language and Sanskrit? Are they the same script with stylistic variations (comparable to the Latin script in Roman vs blackletter typeface)? Or are there some more significant differences between the two scripts?

In advaita vedAnta, there are several introductory texts that introduce to beginners the concepts and terminology of the system. They are called prakaraNa granthas. They are usually in simple Sanskrit. Some such texts are Atma bodha, tattva bodha, vedAnta sAra, and vivekachUDAmaNi.

Are there similar texts for Vajrayana Buddhism that introduce the system's fundamental concepts in a simple form in Tibetan? This is to use it as a reader and as a resource to learn key Buddhist terminology in Tibetan. _/\_

I have paid a translator on Upwork, and I want to check if it's correct:

• Premium Wagyu Biltong  

ཝ་རྒྱུ་གླང་གི་སྤུས་ལེགས་ཤ་ལྕུག་སྐམ་པོ།

• Beef Biltong Sticks

གླང་ཤ་ཤ་ལྕུག་སྐམ་པོ།

• Wagyu Beef Jerky

ཝ་གྱུ་གླ་གི་ཤ་ལྕུག་ཉི་སྐམ།

• Beef Soft Biltong

གླང་ཤ་ཤ་ལྕུག་སྐམ་པོ་སོབ་སོབ།

• Beef Dry Wors

གླང་ཤ་རྒྱུ་མ་སྐམ་པོ།

• Beef Jerky

གླང་ཤ་ཉི་སྐམ།

Many thanks!

Lots of resources to learn དབུ་ཅན་ but have been struggling to find anything to learn how to read or write in dbumed. Anyone know of any manuals or anything?

I know it is lotus, but I have been told that the pe at the end of Ser is not common. Anyone have any familiarity with this formatting?

Hi folks - I am trying to find a correct transliteration of the term "metta bhavana" into Tibetan script, and am coming up empty handed. Can anyone translate this for me, or point me at a website that will do so? Thank you!

Hello. Many years ago I went to Himachal Pradesh to study Tibetan Buddhism and I also went as part of a cultural exchange program. I suddenly started to “revist” my memories from that most beautiful time. I remember listening to this puja a lot when I came back home. Is there any written script of this prayer in Tibetan? I can’t seem to find anything on it. Thank you so much.

To clarify, I don’t mean Amdo language or dialect. I understand there is kind of a koiné spoken by the Tibetan community in exile that is similar to Lhasa Tibetan but also different. When people from Amdo speak this “standard” or Lhasa style, what are some characteristics of their accent? Amdo dialect is nontonal, so do Amdo speakers flatten and confuse tones when they speak Standard Tibetan?

Hello I am looking for open source Tibetan language repositories online, ie Dictionaries, Dharma texts and books. Modern and Classical. I am building a dataset to train an open source Ai translator.

Open for suggestions

Hi, I have not studied the Tibetan language, but recently came across a vintage promo t-shirt for the Free Tibet Movement during the 90s and was hoping to get some help translating the script on the t-shirt if possible. It reads "།ཀུན་གྱི་བདེ་དོན་བོད་ལ་རང་དབང༌།", any help is much appreciated, thank you.

Hello 👋

I speak no Tibetan, but I attend a Tibetan Buddhist temple in my city. Many Tibetans attend but most don't speak English, so I can ask them this question!

Chanting is done in both English and Tibetan. However, whilst chanting in Tibetan - which I want to try to do accurately for respect - I have noticed letters in the phonetic text such as ä and ö, and I don't know how to pronounce these?

Also, I have noticed some consonants seem to be dropped or skipped?

Are there any easy rules to pronunciation from phonetics, for an absolute beginner?

I was always wondering that which dictionary that works best for quick colloquial translation? ( if any at all)

i.e., i was thinking of going to Tibetan last month.

Dictionary translation:

ཟླ་སྔོན་མར་ང་མ་གཞི་བོད་ལྗོངས་ལ་འགྲོ་འདོད་།

Any better translation out there ?

Hi, I'm learning Tibetan and I'm translating the sutra of wise and foolish. It's slightly difficult, but I'd prefer to work with some historical text. Could you recommend me any that will be good for a beginner? Thank you!

I was at a thrift store and my three year old daughter found this item so we got it for her. According ChatGPT it’s Tibetan script, is that correct? If so, what is this thing and what does it say?

Can anyone help me turn this citation that is written in Tibetan into something selectable that can be copied?

Hey there,

I would like to learn Tibetan and wanted to ask about how difficult the learning is perceived in this sub. I would also like to know where your motivation to learn it comes from :)

Thanks

Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone who has experience with language teaching. I myself am quite acquainted with language learning (and teaching too). I have tried several Tibetan online teachers for multiple classes (so my experience is not based on first impressions) but I was mostly taught by people who are native speakers of the language but unfortunately don’t have deeper knowledge of linguistics or teaching methods so the lessons became pointless pretty fast. Which is understandable as speaking a language as a native speaker doesn’t automatically translate into teaching skills. I am not a beginner but I can’t hold a conversation in Tibetan AT ALL. I like to follow a structure and see where the lessons are going - maybe that’s just another way of expressing that I would like to be taught by someone who CAN teach Tibetan. And has knowledge ABOUT Tibetan language. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you all. I promise I’m a very easy going person not at all a perfectionist haha I’ve just been burnt too many times so I tried to explain what I want as clearly as I could haha.

I've heard two different pronunciations of དངོས་གྲུབ་ and wanted to know if anybody on the sub had an idea of what the proper pronunciation is. Thank you!

Can someone please translate this ?
