This page offers basic guidance on typesetting a LaTeX document in the Tibetan language using the Tibetan script.

Support with ini locale file

Here is a minimal sample file with tibetan as the main language (assuming luatex, which is the recommended engine, and babel ≥25.2, although it may work with previous versions).

\documentclass[tibetan]{article}

\usepackage[provide={mapdigits}]{babel}

\babelfont{rm}{Noto Serif Living}

\begin{document}

Local name $=$ བོད་སྐད་

Chapter $=$ \chaptername

Today $=$ \today

Digits $=$ \localenumeral{digits}{0123456789}

\end{document}

You may need download the font or replace it with another one in your system.

Justification (luatex)

Tentative justification based on lines padded with tshegs is available. See What’s new in babel 3.81. As a complement, see this answer to an issue.

Note with xetex justification with padding tshegs is not possible, and without them the result is not completely correct. This is a limitation of the engine.
