Quotes
“Our hopes for the future, development in general, our cultural identity and the preservation of our heritage - it all depends on one thing, the fate of the Tibetan language. Without educated people who are able to express themselves in all fields in their own language, Tibetans run the risk of inevitably assimilated. We have already reached this point. "
"Although Tibetan has been declared the language to be used first in government offices and meetings, as well as in official correspondence, Chinese is used everywhere as the working language."
"In spite of Tibetan being declared the first official language to be used in all government offices and meetings and in official correspondence, Chinese is used everywhere as the working language, and since the level of Tibetan is so low our people are being led by the nose and have no power over their own destiny. "
