The official language of Bhutan is Dzongkha, which is spoken by the majority of the population. Dzongkha is a Tibeto-Burman language that is closely related to Tibetan and is written in a script known as Chhokey.

In addition to Dzongkha, there are several other languages spoken in Bhutan, including Sharchopkha, spoken in the eastern regions of Bhutan, and Nepali, which is spoken by a significant minority population in the southern regions.

English is also widely spoken in Bhutan, particularly in urban areas and is the medium of instruction in schools. Moreover, Bhutanese sign language is used by the deaf community in Bhutan.
