Abstract

This study explores Tibetan’s language ecology. The study applies the first-grade indicators of the “response” under a Press-State-Response (PSR) model to assess the ecology of Tibetan language used in Tibetan-inhabited areas of China. The study collects data from well-documented research and the author’s empirical experiences with the Tibetan language. The study suggests that education, the (people and government’s) attitudes towards the Tibetan language, and speakers’ language competence cannot effectively support the language ecology of Tibetan. The study reflects the whole picture of the minority languages in China and illuminates the direction for future language maintenance improvement.
