Wow is incredible how similar is that language to euskera (basque language, un the north of Spain), both language have declination, and also some words sound the same, and the accent and musicality when they speak...just te same
I'm a tibetan myself and I'd like to add that there's also another way of speaking tibetan called "ghesa" which translates to a "cleaner & more respectful" way of speaking and the words are slightly different in that it sounds more calm and relaxed when speaking in gesha form. This Tibetan lady is speaking in the normal day-to-day tibetan language since she's from india but tibetans from tibet sound sooooo different because of their dialects.
Do you mean shesa?
I agree I think she speaks very bad Tibetan. The people I know speaks Tibetan with honorific and it’s very respectful and very soft on the ear.
@@taralewis8460 I wouldn't say bad. This is just the evolution of the language. Tibetans outside of tibetan would have a hard time understanding Tibetans inside Tibet. And plus there are different dialects of Tibetan. Shesa is like the posh English thats spoken in London.
It's a language not dialect, idiot.
Languages exist, dialects become languages
This language is absolutely beautiful
Its unique, no Hindi, no mandarin, just TIBETAN.
Anu Ranglug ཨནུ་རིང་ལུགས། But it comes from a common protolanguage alongside chinese and thai, the proto-sinitic-tibetan language. Of course it sounds like chinese or thai xd.
@@nundalatacama3613
Thai belongs to a separate language family called Tai-Kadai, only Chinese and Burmese is related to Tibetan
Antalya Gozleri omg people please if you don’t know then just don’t comment wrong information. Tibetan language have similar alphabet as Hindi not any others.
Antalya Gozleri Just google will you? Chinese language is made up from drawings yet Tibetan language have alphabets that have thousands years of history.
Anu Ranglug ཨནུ་རིང་ལུགས། grammer similar with Chinese...
i love my tibetan language
he may be from pakistan or india ....they speak balti language which is also tibetan dialect
ཨབ་དུལ ཝ་ཧཱིད། Or possibly Ladakhi. The Jammu & Kashmir region in the east has many languages closely related to Tibetan!
Are you a Balti?
Julian Fejzo he could be a jalfrezi
Why don’t you translate it for us then?
I am very proud of you for what you have done towards our cause by bringing more awareness to other people by playing role model. I think we definitely more Tibetans to involve like you by wearing our traditional dresses and introducing the brief history of Tibet and language and others. Please keep up your great works!
In my class 4 people are named as tenzin and all Tibet :0
flowex its a really really popular tibetan name
u live in jackson heights? LOL
Literally basically all the Tenzin’s are in Queens nyc
Oh wow, wonder where it is percent-wise with names in Tibet.
@@crimzin1902 every city has the densely populated Tenzin area for example up in Toronto Canada its the Landsdowne and Etobicoke area luckily I don’t live there

Hello
ངའི་མིང་ལ་བསྟན་འཛིན་རེད།
Ngai Ming la Tenzin re
My name is Tenzin.
Anu Ranglug ཨནུ་རིང་ལུགས།
Name in Chinese is also “名” (ming).
@@YummYakitori That is becuase they're both cognates from Proto-Sino-Tibetan /*r-miŋ/ or /*mying/, ང and 我/吾 are also cognates from /*ngaɣ/
Ngai=我
Ming=名
la=也
Yes i know. If one wants to say my name is, then he will say 我的名字是
@@dignuscius1298 yes
in Cantonese: "Ngo'go ming hai Tenzin"
Min Nan Chinese (taiwan&fujian): "Gwa'e mia si Tenzin."
Min Nan Chinese (Leizhou/hainan): "Gwa'gai/Gwa'mo mia di Tenzin."
Imagine this as the official language of Tibet. Thanks for sharing. God bless
it is.
Long live Tibetan people
It's distantly related to Chinese and you can tell, but it sounds so different from Mandarin at the same time. Lots of unique sounds.
@@aspennie no its more related to burmese and ne indian languagues
@@littleninjavangchhia9099 it’s also speculated as pidgin of a Himalayish language called Zhang-Zhung and another language called Gyalrongic
@@aspennie the only similarity is the word structure SOV of northern asia and their accent and tones. Old chinese languagues are more similar to tibetan than today mandarin or other chinese dilects.
sounds very similar to shanghainese for me
@@charlesfu811 Tibetan are more related to Yi and Burmese linguistically.
For the sake of your sanity, dont ever look up how to write Tibetan.
I can speak and write it even though I'm not a native speaker 😏
@AGirlOnTheWeb a month to read and write. my speaking skills are not so good but I'm constantly improving!
@@historyresearcher9908 Just a month!??? My god... you have to be so good at languages
@@lukainthenight hahah, not it's only the dedication!
@@historyresearcher9908 you are like me. I could read and write very quickly, as it's not as difficult as people make out to be (that or we are just really good at Tibetan). My speaking is ok but always improving
As a native Cantonese speaker, it sounds like a mixture of Chinese, Korean and the Southeast Asian languages
Sounds more like Korean and Mongolian to me.
Lol depends on what South East Asian languages are you reffering to as there are Afro Asiatic and Austronesian, which are not related to Sino Tibetan.
Not even close, nor related in any way. But guess when people has limited exposure to a language they reffer to those they ''know''.@@nathanmerritt1581
Cantonese too lol
@@nathanmerritt1581 mongols are northern people, how?
I would like to suggest adding Tibetan subtitles and transcription
10% of the words sound like a mix of Hokkien and Shanghainese (a.k.a. Minnan and Wu). Sounds so beautiful and archaic in a way. Really like it!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 love hearing this
Cool to listen it.
Why does every video about an obscure language have to have comments that go "sounds like a mix between ___ and ___"? It doesn't sound like anything but itself!
evilmick66 okay it sounds SINO-TIBETAN
Probably because some languages do sound similar to others. They're not insulting the languages, they're just making comparisons based on its sound.
languages grow out of and between each other, so they do have affinities, they are organic; they are not invented like the stainless steel ball bearing
This is just how we as humans make sense of new things - it's knowledge integration. We compare new information to things we already know to fit it into our personal knowledge base. If you had to describe a color you'd never seen before, wouldn't you describe it in terms of more familiar colors?
Wow is incredible how similar is that language to euskera (basque language, un the north of Spain), both language have declination, and also some words sound the same, and the accent and musicality when they speak...just te same
I would like to learn Tibetan, sound really beautiful
you should!
There are so many dialects and this is most common accents around the people who has been living in refugee...
LOVE TIBET♡ 🇬🇩
thai here..i kniw theyre related but i didnt realize it sounds sooo much like burmese
it sounds like bit of Korean, Mongolian, Chinese and Nepali my ears are so confused.
No Mongolian? What the! completely different from Mongolian haha
@@mishka3284 read my comment again😂
@@mishka3284 there are tibetan dialects that have mongolian tones and have some words in it
i am a Tibetan from Switzerland.
I have got my subtitle on and she is saying
A street fair has hosted
And im not tibetan
Free Tibet!
It sounds like someone mixed Turkish and Sinic languages (Viet, Chinese, Korean and Japanese), sounds pretty, I like it!
ལེགས།
It has a mixture of Turkic, Korean and mandarin
very cool! love from iran ❤❤
the rhythm reminds me a lot of Mongolian, though I know the two are very different
Tibetan Buddhism, culture and religion has influenced Mongolia a lot.
Antalya Gozleri yup us Tibetans are more heavily influenced by Mongolia rather than China
@sj I love Mongolia and his people
@sj u do it ur self lol y u want my help
Once you learn a language, you will never forget it, even if you haven't use it for many years.
not true
Interesting language and an attractive lady too.
Beautiful cute sweet lovely
Lol so many outsiders teaching us our own history hehehe which is good that means lots of outsiders r interested in Tibetans
people look up tibetan empire by elliot spearling
tenzin woiser you real tibetan, good job
Great recommendation 👍🏼
Really unqiue in fact the only language that comes to mind when hearing Tibetan is Korean actually because the intotation and pacing.
Tibetan in phonetics is Very close to nepalese, butanese, mizo, dâw, naxi, karbi etc.
Sounds pretty.
Wonder why you guys are saying Tibetan sounds like Chinese. As a mandarin speaker, it sounds 0% like Mandarin to me.
Thanks for the honesty. Many CCP paid Chinese are here to nullify this.
Sherman Stanley I think because of the mono-syllable sounding words we attribute to Chinese.
It sounds like cantonese to me but not much
As a Balti speaker, I declare it 20-30 percent similar to Balti.
That’s one of the stupidest thing I hear daily as most of my friends consider Balti some sort of Chinese.
😂😂😂
Both Chinese and Tibetan are members of the Sino-Tibetan language family . They are distantly related .

What Tibetan language is that?
“Ra ma luk” dialect
J'ai connu un tibétain qui a fui le Tibet avant l'invasion chinoise,son tibétain sonnait très différemment,le sien sonne très chinois!😮
Sounds like a mix of Chinese and Turkish
Sounds like Burmese
Wow is incredible how similar is that language to euskera (basque language, un the north of Spain), both language have declination, and also some words sound the same, and the accent and musicality when they speak...just te same
It has a Romance Language cadence.
Her Tibetan sounds quite different from Tibetan heard in Tibet. Apparently she was born in India and had never been to Tibet(that's why she said her country is not free, which is nothing but India propaganda.Tibetans in Tibet usually don't complain about it.)
@@soneifu5187 just because they don't complain about it, doesn't mean that they're completely okay with the status quo.
@@soneifu5187 thats not true
Sonds like korean lil bit
Those who think that Tibetan is similar to Chinese. It's like saying Russian and Hindi are similar because they are both Indo-European languages
Sounds nothing like Mandarin or Cantonese to me since there aren't harsh changes between the 4-7 tones that you have in Mandarin/Cantonese - according to Wiki Tibetan only has a high and low tone. Also it doesn't have so many sh/ch/zh sounds... For me it flows much more nicely, I quite like the sound.
C brtdgh Cantonese got no sh ch and zh lol
In my Chinese dialect (Southern Min) there are also no sh/ch/zh sounds. These retroflex consonants only developed in Mandarin Chinese relatively lately.
2 tones? ez pz.
Actually some tibetan dialects/varieties do have retroflex sounds(ie zh ch sh). As to tones, the Lhasa dialect sounds very “tonal”to me.
Hiro Mahtava It actually depends on the specific variety of Cantonese(there are quite a lot). Also, older generations of Cantonese speakers in Guangzhou(now regarded to be the standard variety of cantonese) do differentiate alveolar and post alveolar affricates faithfully, similar to that of Mandarin
♥️🌸
Finding out I have minuscule Tibetan DNA brought me here.
Korece ve moğolca karışımı gibi geliyor kulağa
omg! her name is like aang's son's name
I wish I could be amazed as easily as you
It's a Tibetan name.
Considering the air nation is based heavily off Tibetan people and culture, it makes sense.
i did know it is a tibetan name,i just couldn't hold it here,btw,anyone here speaks tibetan? i've been wanting to learn it but i don't find good resources for it
I started learning it awhile ago (mainly just the writing system), and then let it drift off. There definitely is not very many resources out there, so anything you find you got to use and make sure you can find it again.
Nice, easy, beautiful. a tone of Korean and Chinese.
Lam rof sound totally different from Chinese lol but people do think it sounds like Korean and Japanese. The sounds of the numbers are mostly same with Japanese.
Tara Lewis that’s because Chinese and Tibetan have the same number system, and later Japan borrowed it from China
Also burmese
It sounds similar to korean
La turra
Sounds like Burmese but then it makes sense.
sounds like Burmese to me
Well tibetan and burmese in the same language family so its related
Burmese here.
I catch up with random words here and there like "I", "you" or "today" but I turned on the captions and it turns out I was utterly wrong lol.

Tibetan sounds so much like balti language from Pakistan..
Cool! I had never heard spoken Tibetan before! I can notice that its phonology sounds closer to Indian languages than to Chinese.
Her Tibetan sounds quite different from Tibetan heard in Tibet. Apparently she was born in India and had never been to Tibet(that's why she said her country is not free, which is nothing but India propaganda.Tibetans in Tibet usually don't complain about it.)
Tibetan in Tibet doesn't sound like any Indian language at all, but Phnetically quite similar to Chinese.
@@soneifu5187 Tibetan language in India is obviously influenced by Indian in terms of accent. But Tibetan language has a lot of loan words from Sanskrit. Just as many languages spoken by the ethnic minorities in Southern China are influenced by Chinese.
@@soneifu5187 #FreeTibet from oppressive china
India is shit hole
Wow is incredible how similar is that language to euskera (basque language, un the north of Spain), both language have declination, and also some words sound the same, and the accent and musicality when they speak...just te same
Reminds me of a lot of Burmese - the intonation and pronouncations. Nothing like a Chinese language whatsoever.
ayerbody be a tenzin lol
Which tibetan dialect? There are four major ones
THY長風 I'm a tibetan and I can assure that this lady isn't speaking in any dialects. I can tell if a tibetan is speaking in a certain dialect and since these dialects are spoken in regions in Tibet, its not very common for Tibetans outside of Tibet to have these dialects and rather they speak in a normal, non-dialect tibetan just like me lol
@@tenzinc760 Is she speaking in Lhasa dialect?
History researcher
No she isn’t.
@@tenzinc760 Dialect refers to any regional version of a language. A dialect of a language is not just an obscure form of a language. Everybody who speaks a language speaks a dialect of that language.
I think you mean that she's speaking in the *standard* dialect.
Standard dialects aren't any different than other dialects. They're usually just more widely spoken than other dialects. They aren't special, and other dialects aren't special either. There's no such thing as "non-dialect" language. If you speak any language, you speak a dialect of that language. What I'm saying also applies to Chinese, English, Spanish, Hindi, and every other language in the world.
This lady is speaking in a distinct accent that is very specific to those who live in exiled Tibet, specifically similar to those who were born or raised in South Asia (India, Nepal, etc.). Although to an extent it is still very easy to comprehend what she is saying as a Tibetan who may speak in the Standard dialect, it is very obvious that her accent is very different from someone who actually lives in Tibet, specifically the capital Lhasa which the standard dialect is originated from.
North eastern Indian languages kinda sound like this
ཧ་ཅང་སྟབས་བདེ་བའི་སྐད་ཆ་(ཞོར་དུ་ཚིག་གཅིག་བཤད་ན་དེ་ནི་དཔྱད་གཏམ་ངོ་མ་ཞིག་ཡིན་ཁོ་ཐག་རེད)
Sounds like Burmese not Chinese.
doesnt sound burmese at all, it sounds very central asian turkic-y to my ears
Bro it sounds super Burmese. It's in the same family.
I'm Burmese
Shine well I can hear a little Burmese now you mention it but you can't deny the central Asian influence
stavros343 chinese-burmese ish. I don't know where turkish and shit comes from these comments are looney
idk why they would jump straight to turkish but languages like kazakh and mongolian have a connection to turkish, and tibetan happens to be heavily influenced by mongolian etc
Sound like Burmese but older.
Sound like a bit like Burmese
It sounds like Korean + Hindu to me
Long live the internet!
FREE TIBET
I only came here because of uncharted 2.
kinda sounds burmese at the beginning
Sounds like Burmese. No wonder they belong to the same family.
Please encourage dialects of tibet too. They getting lost. Iwant to hear kongpo, lhoka, kham dialect
free tibet
Free Tibet
ང་ཚོ་ཁམས་པའི་བུ་མོ་འདྲ་ས་མེད་ཟེར
I don’t know but for some reason this sounds little similar to Burmese
Tibetan and Burmese are closely related. Along with the Chinese languages, they constitute a single language family.
Sound likes cantonese
This sounds slower than Mandarin
Sounds a little bit like Korean
Because they all have simillar proto language.
It’s sounds like Korean but writing is totally different.
Wow is incredible how similar is that language to euskera (basque language, un the north of Spain), both language have declination, and also some words sound the same, and the accent and musicality when they speak...just te same
I have never heard such a clear segment of Tibetan this long but to me it now sounds like Mongolian mixed with Chinese. No offence to Tibetans and I know this is a distinct language, but it does sound kind of like other Asian languages: like Turkic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese. Could be because of the influence though.
Fuckface...there is no such thing as dialect language, its either dialect or language. In context here, it's the Tibetan language.
There are 3 main dialects of Tibetan, wonder which one she speaks
She’s speaking the modern one spoken by the “refugees”
@@MaxMax-kx7ywwrong she is speaking utsang dialect.
Has a bit of a turkic sense to it.
I thought the same. It sounds like a mix of Chinese with Turkish.
OMG me too
Historycali this teritority was 700 years under Turkic Tribes Rule :>
Tibet was never under any Turkic rule. Only mongol and Manchu.
as a native turkish speaker i was ready to disagree. but then i watched the video one more time and imagined myself as a foreigner. and you are right, wow! it slightly sounds like turkish 😳
Yeah sorry this sounds nothing like Chinese
why sorry? they are not trying to sound Chinese
Who even said it sounds like Chinese?
Wow is incredible how similar is that language to euskera (basque language, un the north of Spain), both language have declination, and also some words sound the same, and the accent and musicality when they speak...just te same
This sounds like Korean.
it sounds like a mix of an Indian language and Chinese, makes sense. I like it
not at all, sounds more like mix of Mongolian, Korean, and Nepali sounds like she is speaking all three of those language at once
Well the writing system is derived from India ( idk which language but there are similarities between Hindi and tibetan)... I mean the alphabet orders
as a Chinese native speaker, this sounds nothing like Chinese...entirely incomprehensible! Sure, linguists will say thousands of years ago the two languages were one but for all I care they are as similar as French and Russian. I can tell it has some tones and monosyllables but so does plenty of other Asian languages. Can we just appreciate Tibetan as it is rather than trying to compare it to other languages?
Well, cantonese will be entirely incomprehensible to you as well, if you have never learned it.
Those scientists must be CCP propaganda coz Tibetan language has nothing to do with Chinese lol it is derived from Hindi and Sanskrit. Chinese language is a baby born yesterday in front of Tibetan language
@@uadhlagash7280 I do understand Cantonese, but maybe it's because I grew up hearing a lot of it. I agree mutual intelligibility is not THE best way to measure linguistic affinity, though. I've now finished a year-long course on Tibetan and can say with more confidence that at least at the grammatical and lexical levels, Tibetan and Chinese has very little in common.
@@taralewis8460 Sure, there's some CCP propaganda in the Sino-Tibetan theory, but the only relationship between Tibetan and Sanskrit is that Tibetans borrowed their writing system from a version of the latter about a thousand years ago. It's like the relation between Chinese and Japanese, for example. Contrary to what some Northern Indians tends to believe, Sanskrit-speaking Indians didn't invent the entirety of world civilization...
@@elvinmeng4905 I am from the Northeast region of India and to be honest I do find it really annoying how the Indians who speak languages derived from Sanskrit or any form of Prakrit as mother tongue thinks every language is born our Sanskrit or something. They don't understand the concept of language family or loanwords, and somehow come the conclusion "this language is related to that". Though some Dravidian languages speaking people aren't any less annoying when it comes to language family.
Freeman Tibet Free Uigur
Face seems like ordinary korean girl.
sounds like a mix of mandarin and korean
a tibetan monk of kublai court wrote the spoken korean language.
Pádraig Zen then why chinese and tibetian languages are belong to one Sino-Tibetian language family?
Chinese and Tibetan are genetically related languages. Korean is a language isolate.
however, Korean phonology was hugely influenced by Sinitic, so they sound similar
More like Korean IMO
