 | | Besides Tibetan, the Dzongkha language is written in the Tibetan script. | | | The creation of the Tibetan script is traditionally ascribed to Thonmi Sambhota in the mid- 7th century. | | | The Tibetan script was most likely introduced for administrative purposes in 650 (the first dated year in the Old Tibetan Annals). |

| | The Tibetan Book of the Dead: Introduction |
| | The subjects of Tibetan religious art are typically Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, lamas, historical figures, and deities; mandalas, representing the abodes of the deities; stupas or reliquaries; and ritual implements for use in shrines and temples. | | | The Tibetan script is considered sacred, since it was created especially for the translation of Buddhist scripture. | | | Indeed, this refusal to acknowledge the imminence of death and impermanence is regarded in Buddhism as a fundamental cause of the confusion and ignorance that prevents spiritual progress. |

| | The earliest Tibetan inscriptions date from 7th to 8th century CE in what is called the dbu can (which translates into "with a head") script, which also appeared on manuscripts from around 11th CE and remained until the modern day in the form of printed Tibetan text. | | | Tibetan Buddhist tradition states that it was created by Minister Thon mi Sambho t a in northeastern India by order of the Tibetan king Srong btsan sgam po. | | | The origin of the Tibetan script is rather obscure. |

| | Tibetan Buddhists believe that preparation for death can help anyone, regardless of religion or belief. | | | And Tibetan Buddhism seems to be attractive to growing numbers of Americans who find the belief comforting when illness and death loom near. | | | For example, the famous "Tibetan Book of the Dead" is meant to be read and chanted to the dying and to the corpse for many days. |

| | However, a comparison with Tibetan reveals that the letters are essentially more angular versions of Tibetan scripts. | | | Since hPhags-pa Lama was Tibetan, he created a new script based on his native Tibetan script, but he also borrowed some elements from Mongolian as well. | | | Like Tibetan, the hPhags-pa script is a syllabic alphabet. |

| | The new Tibetan alphabet was used to write Tibetan translations of Buddhists texts. | | | Tibetan literature is mainly concerned with Buddhist themes and includes works translated from Sanskrit and Chinese and original Tibetan works. | | | The minister then reputedly devised a script for Tibetan based on the Devanagari model and also wrote a grammar of Tibetan based on Sanskrit grammars. |

| | This (Tibetan) script remained in use for the Balti till the 16th century AD when a strong opposition routed it away from the area and instead, the Mullahs persuaded the Balti masses to use the Persian script for Balti, but they never endeavoured to form fully corresponding Persian letters for Balti. | | | As the area is geographically located on the Tibetan plateau and for centuries remained a part of the Tibetan Empire, the majority of population being ethnically and linguistically of Tibetan origin, Indian historians have thus named it Little Tibet. | | | The people of Baltistan, dubbed as -mini Tibet-, are related to the Tibetans and their language is a branch of the Tibetan language and retains many features of archaic Tibetan pronounciation. |

| | Ranjana Script |
| | The Ranjana script is found in many Buddhist Sanskrit manuscripts from India and Nepal and it is still used by the Newari community (the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu valley) for their religious texts both Hindu and Buddhist - and for some other writings in Sanskrit and Newari. | | | Tibetans use this script, which they call lanydza, particularly for writing the Sanskrit titles of books which have been translated from Sanskrit to Tibetan. | | | They also use it for writing decorative script in temples, bija mantras in mandalas and there are a few texts printed with alternating lines in Sanskrit using this script followed by a Tibetan translation in Tibetan script. |

| | Tibetans normally credit the birth of their script to Thönmi Sambhota, a Minister of Songtsan gampo (617-650), sent to India to draw inspiration for a Tibetan alphabet. | | | As "tshe thung" in Tibetan means "short life", Tibetans thought that it was especially funny to have to read "Long life to Mao short life". | | | Pairing selected styles of traditional Tibetan script with significant terms and phonemes Dhumkhang La presents the profound concepts of Buddhist philosophy in highly expressive visual solutions. |
