Also used to say 'how are you?'

Thank you: Thugche or Thugje che

My name is: Ngay ming .... yin

Have you eaten?: xama or khalag xawa yin ?:pay

@lhakylou

this is nangchen or gapa dialect of Kham.

Ka ethi is actually used by all khampas . Means are you tired?Tashi delek is not used by khampas at least. It is now being used more and more..although.

he should have said nya ari mi yin coz he used the chinese meiko instead.

[tibinto]

he is mixing kham dialect and mandarin .. eg. mai yo .. at the end of a sentence..

I spent 6 months living in Yushu, and the only bit of this that sounds familiar is 'have you eaten?'; I never heard anyone say 'thank you' or 'goodbye' or 'hello' like that, and I knew how to say those. I don't think he is from Yushu.

[TibetIssra]

I'm gonna have to agree. This sounds nothing like what I heard in Yushu. Definitely an eastern Tibetan dialect...but I'm not sure where. I'm guessing Kham, but not sure where exactly.

@nomadsolicitor

He is nanchen dialect from the area Nangchen . There are many in Tibetan settlement of Bir in India. Same dialect.

I am a Tibetan from Amdo and he is speaking the dialect from Yushu, in Kham

[mooney47]

Thank you very much for the information. Now that I think back on it, I see to remember him telling me he was from Yushu.

[Thuwang]

I think so that he is a tibetan but not from Amdo...

[Lungtok]

From a amdowa point of view, it seems to be a amdo dialect but not so well known... Specially he recognized the "thank you" part

[Memnoch9615]

When he says "I'm American" it almost sounds Chinese.

[mooney47]

I noticed that before and asked a Chinese friend about it. She attributed it to being a word borrowed from Chinese.

Unfortunately, since I left China, I lost touch with this guy.

[ChrisWatch]

lol thanks for the vid perhaps he's trying to speak your language?...

[LobsanWillDie4Tibet]

i've never heard of it but then again i'm purang.... Tibet has many dialect...thats how rich my Country is.

Seriously, what the hell is going on? Something Fishy here too....

I am tibetan and i know this is just a crazy talking.

[mooney47]

I met him in Xining, Qinghai. I talked to him for about an hour. He spoke only a little Chinese. He told me he was Tibetan. Since I'm not Tibetan, I guess I can't be sure, but whatever it is, actually I don't think it is 'crazy talking'. I appreciate your comment and will look into it.

[tibriceball]

Nani, I've never heard anyone speak that type of Tibetan before...
