Modern information-sharing technology that supports the Tibetan language has been hailed by an expert in cultural preservation and the protection of religious beliefs in the Tibet autonomous region.
"With the use of the Tibetan language on the Internet and on mobile phones, Tibetan people, especially the younger generation, can easily access the outside world," said Galsang Drolma, an assistant researcher at the China Tibetology Research Center.
This technology also makes it possible to preserve literary works written in Tibetan, such as poetry, which are full of rich cultural connotations, she said.
