Usage notes

 * In Tibetan, properly refers to the entire plateau region that is translated to English as Tibet or Tibetan Plateau, of which Tibet Autonomous Region  only forms one part.
 * In international media, Tibet is often used as the shorthand name for Tibet Autonomous Region.
 * In modern Chinese of the People's Republic of China, refers to Tibet Autonomous Region (including  Arunachal Pradesh administered by India), but is named after Tibetan, one of the traditional provinces of Tibet that includes the capital Lhasa.
 * Today in the complex politics surrounding Tibet, the use of Tibet for the entire plateau can be offensive to Chinese people particularly in the People's Republic of China, while the use of Tibet exclusively for Tibet Autonomous Region can be offensive to Tibetan people.
