TINGLISH--I just used "Tinglish" for "Tibetan English," but I see that it means "Thai English." I couldn't find a word for Tibetan English!
TRUCKIT--There are mini-trucks all over Shigatse. My tour guide said the name for them is "lug." Someone here said the Tibetan means "pulling machine." I saw "truckit" used when I Googled for "Tibet vehicle tractor." See the photo of one at http://kimbriggs.onza.net/Photos/Tibet/Shigatse. What is the English for this thing?
