How to learn it?
Does it have a diglossia?
Chinese wikipedia says that Classical Tibetan is the written version of Dzongkha(which
are mutually unintelligible, it seems), but English wikipedia says differently, so how
is it?
are there any resources for it?
I tried to search, but with little success.
Before I though that Dzongkha is very close to Tibetan (with a difference comparable to
Turkish-Azeri, Swedish-Norwegian etc), but it seems to be not the case.
:(

this is what i found.
and a dictionary for downloading :( (useless, if you don't know anything about the
language).

'textbooks' :( but entirely in the target language.

See this earlier thread (which references an even earlier one) for some resources that might be of use:

Thanks, hmm, sorry for opening a new tread.
hmm, anyway, it seems the other treads don't have much of material as well :(
