Cool! I just found out there is a dog breed called a Tibetan Mastiff… Shiver… they look scary but also very cuddly. Okay back to the actual topic… heehee… Well there are about 1.2 milllllllliiiion speakers. Yep that’s a lot… and very good. Okay so it turns out that Tibetan IS spoken in Tibet, but it is also spoken in Bhutan, Nepal, and in parts of northern India. Oh also I found out that the Tibetan language is native to Lhasa.
