Tibet (Tibetan: ????, Bod, pronounced pö in Lhasa dialect; Chinese: ??, pinyin: X?zàng; older spelling Thibet) is a region in Central Asia and the home of the Tibetan people. With an average elevation of 4,900 m (16,000 ft), it is often called the 'Roof of the World'. All or most of historic Tibet (depending on definition) is currently controlled by the People's Republic of China (PRC).
