By reading the posts, I'd like to add something here -

1. "Newari" is incorrect term. The correct term is either "Nepalbhasa" or "Newah Bhaye". To know more, please visit -

2. Newar language does not have these sounds -  ट, ठ, ड, ढ, ण. So it is natural that the Nepalbhasa speaking people will find little different in differentiation ट / त and so forth.

3. Tibetan language and Nepalbhasa are from same language family. So there are many similarities in Tibetan and Nepalbhasa.

3. Tibetans also use "Ranjana Lipi" (Script) to write holy mantras, so do the Newars, but language and  scripts are not always related.
