This project examines the unusual voice practices of mostly Mongolians. Different from the Tibetan variety, Mongolian throat-singing has more of a "buzzing" quality than the low rumble of Tibetan tri-tonal Buddhist chant.

  • Tibetans are a South Asian/Central Asian people. We are related to the people of South Asia and Central Asia.

  • well...culturally they borrow much from the Indians, most even. But linguistically, not at all related. The question with Central Asia, which tribe(s)? There are Russians, Tuvans, Tunguskans, the old Scythians...they are a multitude.

  • Should Tibetans be considered Asian like Chinese, Japanese and Korean or Caucasian like Indians and Turk?

  • Really, the question is, are they more like Turks or Chinese? The debate is on: some say Sino-Thai/Tibeto-Burman family. That is my vote. For sure, Burmese and Tibetan are related, I know the languages well enough to see it, but don't know the others. i understand the Altaic division of Turks, Mongols, Koreans and much of Japanese (with much polynesian admixture) to be related. So, the questions is: like Chinese or like Turkic/Mongolian? I don't know! Help us someone!

  • Fair enough! Why not remake this with the facts straight? I will link to your project as well.

    Looking forward to an improved videography,

    James Powell

  • @opensourcebuddhism I know the fact that there are some linguistic similarities between Tibetan and Turkish, Such as : "chu" is su in Turkish means water, "telek" "dilek" in Turkish, "Tsong" Sovan in Turkish (when is said it is very similar) is Onion..."Chock" is chock in Turkish means Many or More Chock ii is chock iyi in Turkish meaning very well, chat is chati in Turkish meaning roof...Tibet is Located between China and India, and heavily influenced by Urdu which shares many words with Turkic

  • great video wow yes i do all of these styles but had no idea i was singing three octaves at the same time when i do tibeten it sounds really wild and they say once you can do it you have reached enlightenment i know when i do it it really takes me to my one pointedness and to my crown chakra it allows one to ascend the chakras rapidly or what is called one pointedness... when one has mastered this that is what enlightenment is all about :)
