The thirty consonants of the Tibetan alphabet known as "I'w'.r§"i·~ .. rqil· gsal byed sum bcu are
classified into seven and half groups of four. The order in which the four letters are arranged in

that the appropriate pronunciation of the letters can be learnt with minimum help of the Romanized
forms. Even if the Romanized forms prove helpful in the preliminary stages, do not develop a
habit of not writing and reading in the language one is supposedly learning. Even if we know the
grammar of the language, we will never be able to speak or write it properly if we do not use the
script. Historically, until Tibet's recent colonization there had been no attempt to enforce a foreign
script and leave Tibetan redundant.
