I may have missed it somewhere, but what Tibetan dialect is being taught here, and how different is it from the other dialects? Is there a "central" Tibetan dialect, such as Mandarin Chinese for China?
It's nice to know that many people are interested in Tibetan Language. Anyways gongtoe delek (no pun intended.)
And it's nice to know that people are interested in this resource. Thanks!
