About Tibet
This article covers only theTibetan Autonomous Region(TAR). There are also Tibetan autonomous prefectures and counties located in the provinces ofQinghai, southwestGansu, westernSichuanand northwestYunnan, covered in the articles on those provinces. SeeList of Chinese provinces and regionsfor an explanation of the terms "autonomous region" and "autonomous prefecture" if required. TheTibetan Empirewas once much larger than the current borders, and various areas outside the TAR are culturally, historically and linguistically Tibetan to varying degrees. In contemporary China, and in general English usage today, the term "Tibet" refers only to the TAR. However, the term "Tibetan Regions", with its focus on all of ethnographic Tibet is becoming more widespread amongst Chinese in China as well.
