to launch uTalk\u2019s new Tibetan language app on Tibetan New Year\u2019s Day (Tuesday 5th February).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Producer and actress, Trudie Styler, wife of pop star Sting, joined hands with a Tibetan child at the Tibetan Peace Garden in South London to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking about the app, Trudie Styler, who is a long-time supporter of Tibet and the exiled Dalai Lama, says: \u201cI am sure the Dalai Lama is going to be absolutely pleased about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think what the Dalai Lama would see is that if you immerse yourself into a language, any language, you become more tolerant, you understand more and you understand the depth and breadth of the challenges of that society,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tibetan language spoken on the app is the most common Tibetan dialect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tibet is sometimes nicknamed \u2018the roof of the world\u2019 because of the high altitude of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explore uTalk Tibetan \u2013 Ten Handy Words and
