Tibetan people
The Tibetan people are a people indigenous to Tibet and surrounding areas stretching from Central Asia in the West to Myanmar and China in the East. In the People's Republic of China (PRC) they are one of the largest among the fifty-six ethnicities officially believed to constitute the Zhonghua Minzu ("Chinese nation"). According to an official census of 1959, the number of Tibetans in the PRC was 6,330,567 [1]. The SIL Ethnologue documents an additional 125,000 Tibetan exiles living in India, 60,000 in Nepal, and 4,000 in Bhutan. The death toll in Tibet since the invasion of the People's Liberation Army in 1950 has been estimated at a median of 600,000.
