@ramsey @futurebird That's an interesting question and one I'd love to know the answer to.  @JD_Cunningham #history #TIbet Tibetan script matches Sanskrit, though the language is closer to Mandarin https://traffic.libsyn.com/yinhistory/EP83-Tibet.mp3 |
@JD_Cunningham @futurebird They’re published under a CC BY-NC-SA license, but they include the statement, “Apart from spelling corrections, no other additions or deletions are to be made to the text.”
Does this mean they don’t allow translations of the texts to be published?
