Is Bhutan Tibetan?

The Kingdom of Bhutan is located on the southern slope of the East Himalayas, sandwiched between China and India. It is a small landlocked country with an area of only 38,000 square kilometers. Under the so-called "diplomatic guidance" of India, Bhutan has only 54 countries with diplomatic relations, but has not established diplomatic relations with China, the United States, Russian and other big countries.

Nevertheless, due to its border with China and Tibet, Bhutan is deeply influenced by China culture, especially Tibetan culture. In Sanskrit, Bhutan means "the border of Tubo" and is the southernmost tip of Tibetan culture. Specifically, Bhutanese include Sharchop and Galong.

Among them, Sharjo people mainly live in eastern Bhutan, and they are mixed-race Tibetans, South Asians and Southeast Asians.
