Tibetan...
"Tibetan is spoken by most of the estimated 5.5
million inhabi-
tants of what has been since 1951 the Tibetan Autonomous
Region of the People’s Republic of China. The term
‘Tibetan’
is, however, misleading, for the language of which the Lhasa
usage has become the ‘standard form’ is also spoken with
dialectal variations among the Sikkimese (who refer to it as
Denjong-ke) and Bhutans, the Balti
and Ladakhi of
Kashmir, the
Sharpas of northeastern Nepal, and in
numerous subdialectal
forms. This comprehensive language is known as Phö-ke,
or
Bhotia. Lhasa Bhotia has long been an important literary lan-
guage, primarily in use until the 19th century for Lamaist-
B_ddhist
religious documents. The Tibetan script was devised
by a minister to the 7th-century founder of the Tibetan state. It
represents an expansion of the Gupta or Khotanese Indian script
(a disputed point)."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]

"An attempt was made by the Church My. Society, in
1816, to furnish the inliabitants of
this vast region with a version of the Scriptures in their own language, but
unhappily this important
undertaking ultimately proved abortive. Mr. Schrœter, a my. of
that Society, after having
devoted himself with much stedfastness and success to the acquisition of the
language, was cut off by
death at the very moment that he was about to begin the translation of the
Scriptures."--The Bible of Every Land. (1860, Second Edition)
