Tibetan place names

I collected this short and very incomplete list from various sources (see bottom of the page) during my translation work. As I couldn't find any easy reference that would provide names of places in Tibet both in Tibetan and Chinese, I publish it here so it might be useful also for somebody else. If you find any errors or wish to add a place, you can contact me here. Names U-Tsang, Kham, Amdo and Ngari refer to historical provinces of Tibet, that are now incorporated into Tibet Autonomous Region, Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai and Yunnan.

Correct display of the Tibetan script requires Tibetan Machine Uni font (you can download it from Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library)
