Bhot or Bhotiya: the vernacular language of Tibet; originally monosyllabic, and somewhat resembling Chinese; it has now almost lost that characteristic. Tibet is also called Bhotan—i.e., Tih-bot, “Land of the Bot.” There are local dialects of Butan, Lhassa, and Ladak; it is classed as Indo-Chinese, and the written characters are founded on the Devanagari alphabet, and written from left to right. Grammar by Jaeschke, Kyelang, 1865; and Dictionary, 1866; also by Csoma de Korös, Calcutta, 1834. See [Suri-Butan].
