Hello, I surfed a lot on the net but the resources I bumped into which were devoted to the Tibetan language were not in abundance :((
I'll be thankful to any links that can help me to fnd learning materials on this tongue or maybe there are some FSI projects or you have got something that can be uploaded here in the site.

The very best material I've found comes out of University of Virginia in USA.  They have hundreds of online Tibetan texts avail as well as this superb free source for instruction from "Tibetan Himalayan Digital Library".   The links change from time to time, but you should be able to find it with a search for "THDL" or "UVA tibetan"

I'm fairly confident that FSI never produced any materials for Tibetan.

There is a course entitled "Fluent Tibetan", however, which is very similar to the FSI approach (i.e., lots of taped drills).  It's available from Snow Lion Publications:  http://www.snowlionpub.com/
