The Tibetan language has several dialects, with the main ones being Central Tibetan (also known as Lhasa dialect), Kham Tibetan, and Amdo Tibetan. The language uses the Tibetan script, which was developed from an Indian Brahmi script around the 7th century AD. It has a rich literary tradition, including ancient religious texts and historical chronicles.

It continues to be an essential part of Tibetan identity and heritage, though it faces challenges from language shift due to modernization and political changes in the region.
