People who are native to or from Tibet, a region in the Himalayas in Asia, or the languages and culture associated with them.
From Tibet, the name of the Himalayan region, combined with the -an suffix meaning 'a person from.' The word Tibet likely comes from Sanskrit and Chinese sources referring to the high plateau region.
Tibetans have one of the most remarkable adaptations in human biology—their blood actually carries oxygen more efficiently at extreme altitudes, with genetic mutations that helped them thrive where most humans would struggle to breathe.
