The Tibetan script is a segmental writing system (abugida)
|
|
of Indic origin used to write certain Tibetic languages,
|
|
including Tibetan, Dzongkha, Sikkimese, Ladakhi, Jirel and Balti.
|

It has also been used for some non-Tibetic languages in
|
|
close cultural contact with Tibet, such as Thakali and Old Turkic.
|
|
The printed form is called uchen script while the hand-written
|
|
cursive form used in everyday writing is called umê script.
