Language attribution:

Tibetan belongs to Sino-Tibetan language family, so the relationship between Tibetan and Chinese is not far away. Both languages come from the same original language (this original language is also called the original Sino-Tibetan language). It is estimated that the time of the split of the original languages between China and Tibet is around 4000 BC to 6000 BC.

Tibetan retains the ancient sounds of ancient Chinese, including complex consonants. There are many cognates between Tibetan and Chinese. However, because Chinese has undergone many phonetic changes, we can't directly compare the pronunciation of Putonghua today, so we must rely on the structure of ancient Chinese.

On the other hand, the basic word order of Tibetan is SOV (subject-patient-verb), which has abundant case variants, and it is an action-general case language, which means that the subject of its transitive verb is case, while the grammatical cases of its subject and patient (both without suffixes) are general cases.
