about our place names list
The Place Names List is a trilingual list of places located in Tibetan areas of China. Sources used for the Tibetan and Chinese names include official publications as well as local scholars.
The Simplified Wylie follows the transliteration system established by the Tibetan and Himalayan Library.
As a work in progress, we will continue to roll out names as they become available. Currently, we have posted place names from the province to county levels. The township level names will be made available in the near future. Village level place names are currently being compiled. We also have plans to provide maps and tools in the three languages.
