Abstract

This article presents that Amdo Tibetan has systematic forms of honorifics used exclusively for highly respected monastic figures and s during wedding ceremonies (the entourage of bride's male relatives). Despite common assumptions suggesting that Amdo Tibetan does not frequently employ honorifics, it does in fact have honorifics within a lexical category reserved for speeches addressed to extremely marginal, traditionally high-ranking persons. The article provides a list of lexical forms of honorifics along with their corresponding contexts of use in the Mabzhi dialect of Amdo Tibetan.
