I know Bengali and Assamese use a Tibetan script, anyone know how similar is it to the one Tibetans use for their language?
When I (bengali speaker) visited Bhutan where they speak a language that is 50% mutually intelligble with Tibetan I didn't understand anything. I was surprised because I thought they might use a number of buddhist loan words, but even the words for dharma, karma, etc. sound completely different in tibetan
