Khams Tibetan language

Khams Tibetan language

Kham Ke (ཁམས་སྐད་ Wylie transliteration: "khams skad") refers to the Tibetan language dialects spoken in Eastern Tibet or Kham (E. Tibet Autonomous Region, S. Qinghai, W. Sichuan, Yunnan). It should not be confused with the Kham language spoken by the "Kham Magars" of Western Nepal.

The ISO 639-3 code for the Kham Tibetan language is: khg.

Regional varieties

There are three main dialect groups of Kham Tibetan:

* "Central Kham" spoken in the Derge (W. Sichuan & T.A.R.) and Chamdo (T.A.R.) areas.
* "Southern Kham" spoken in the Dechen area (Yunnan & T.A.R.)
* "Northeastern Kham" spoken in Nangchen and Yushu (S. Qinghai) areas.

Central Kham

outhern Kham

There are several varieties of Southern Kham Tibetan because of the mountainous region causing isolation of languages for independent development and interaction with neighboring language communities for trade.

Northeastern Kham
