Tibetan notebook

In Uchen, Tsuring and Chuyig style.

This is a writing book for adults who want to learn to write Tibetan script in Uchen, Tsuring or Chuyig style. The inside pages are in color. Uchen is a printed script and is used throughout Tibet. As a handwritten script, it is mainly used in Amdo and Kham, i.e. in north-eastern and eastern Tibet. Central Tibet (Ü-Tsang), on the other hand, prefers Umê handwriting, which includes Tsuring and Chuyig. For example, you first learn to write in the Tsuring style and then switch to the shorthand Chuyig when you have enough writing experience. Chuyig is particularly suitable for fast writing. This writing booklet contains 30 letters and four vowel signs that make up the Tibetan alphabet, as well as two punctuation marks and all 89 ligatures (compound letters) of the Tibetan script. They are written in the Uchen, Tsuring and Chuyig script. The 30 individual letters each take up a whole page. The vowel signs, punctuation marks and ligatures are each dealt with on half a page. The order in which the individual lines of the letters are to be drawn is shown at the top of the page. The letters are initially given in background color for tracing. The free lines are intended for independent practice. At the end of the book, the characters in the three writing styles are summarized on one page. There are also three blank copy templates for further writing exercises.
