Sherpas are of Tibetan culture and descent and speak a language called Sherpa, which is closely related to the form of Tibetan spoken in Tibet. Sherpa is predominately a spoken language, although it is occasionally written in the Tibetan or Devanagari script. The greatest number of Sherpas live in Nepal and speak Nepali in addition to their own language. Those educated in Tibet or in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries may speak Tibetan. Most of those whose livelihood depends on mountaineering also speak one or several of the languages of climbers and tourists.
