Most Tibetan people speak Tibetan, which is a Tibetic language in the Sino-Tibetan language family. However, many Tibetans in urban areas also speak Mandarin Chinese due to its official status in China. Additionally, some Tibetans who have had exposure to international education or travel may also speak English or other foreign languages.

Indo-European, by a wide margin. Sino-Tibetan is a fair contender, since there are so many Chinese, but it has few descendents.

the tibetan language is most closely related to burmese.the tibetan script/alphabet is indic in origin.the tibetan language and Chinese languages are very different in grammar.tibetan sentence order being Subject-Object-Verb and Chinese being Subject-Verb-Object.although tibetan and Chinese do share a handful of words in common,just like how Chinese and Korean share some words in common,tibetan should not be classified with Chinese.Korean is also not classified in the Chinese language family.Korean is a language isolate,meaning it does not belong to a language family although some scientists suggest an altaic origin.Korean and other altaic languages have the same sentence order as tibetan i.e SOV.these altaic speaking peoples are mostly nomadic like the tibetans and mongols.
currently tibetan is classified in the "sino-tibetan" language family even though the tibetan and Chinese language have nothing in common besides a few words.the CCP uses this classification to justify its occupation on Tibet.

Korean and Chinese are not linguistically related. Korean belongs to the Koreanic language family, while Chinese is a part of the Sino-Tibetan language family. However, due to historical and cultural interactions, there have been influences from Chinese on the Korean language, particularly in terms of vocabulary and writing systems.

The unifying language of China, is the Chinese Mandarin language. The Cantonese dialect, is also spoken by a large population of Chinese people. This is the language that actually sounds like stereotypical way people see it, I don't need to mention it here. Not all languages in China, are even related. Sino-Tibetan speakers may be able to understand other Sino-Tibetan speakers to a very small extent. China is also home to Turks, and Indo-Aryans (Indians/Pakistanis) and Mongols. The Mongolian language is spoken in northern China by the Mongols, and it is a Mongolic Language. Not a Sino-Tibetan or a Chinese language. Same with Kazakhs and Turks, they speak Turkish and Kazakh as native toungues. There are also German-Chinese and Arab-Chinese.

There's considerable debate about this; the earliest Old Chinese inscriptions found date to around 1200 BC. Some linguists believe Chinese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family of languages, while others claim that Chinese evolved independently and has no link to Tibetan languages.

"Proto-Algic," people -based on my observations of their culture, physiology, and languages...as far as I can tell seem to be very likely an amalgation of two primary groups of unrelated peoples -who converged somewhere in North America- and which two unrelated groups of peoples also happen to comprise the overwhelming majority of nearly all other Amerindian peoples.
1. A group of Austronesian-speaking peoples migrating across the Pacific.
2. A group of at least several very different ethnicities who 'creolized' with each other in Western Eurasia and Central Asia. The PRIMARY language transmitted by THESE peoples across Asia...and then finally across the Bering Strait...is Sino-Caucasian.
Na-Dene languages (Navajo/Apache, etc.) have LONG SINCE been hypothesized to be related to Sino-Caucasian languages. Na-Dene has recently been proven to be related to ONE branch of Sino-Caucasian: Yeniseian. It has YET, however, to be proven to be related to the remaining branches of Sino-Caucasian: which are Basque, Northern Caucasian, Sino-Tibetan (including Chinese), and Burushaski.
Hence, in my analyses these two convergences of unrelated peoples and languages (Austronesian from across the Pacific; and Sino-Caucasian speaking peoples from across the Bering Strait) comprise the overwhelming majority of nearly all Amerindian culture, languages and physiology.
The Sino-Caucasian speaking ensemble which has its origins in Eurasia (Caucasus Mountains), is a super-creolized ethinicity comprised of at least several very diverse ethnicities: primarily Turkic, Mongol, and Tungusic...with very large amounts of Tibetan and Chinese, Indo-European, and Semitic as well. Much or most of this creolization took place, in my opinion, very soon after the Tower of Babel when many different ethnicities still lived in close proximity to each other -before dispersal into all directions. Much more admixture may have taken place -en route to the Bering Strait across all of Asia and southern Siberia.
Proto-Algic speakers, hence, to reiterate are an almagation of one ensemble (comprised of various very different ethnicities -speaking primarily a Sino-Caucasian language) crossing over the Bering Strait...and an Austronesian offshoot in the Americas having migrated northward after landing in either South America or Meso-America.
The convergence of these two ensembles must have ocurred very very early in prehistory. Perhaps the convergence occurred where Proto-Algic peoples are said to have their roots: In the great lakes regions.
I currently have 'deciphered' most of the Americas -physiologically, culturally, and genetically...and I currently have the 'greatest understanding' of Native American prehistory of perhaps, any person who has ever lived...
