Phagmodrupa dynasty

Phagmodrupa dynasty was a state in Tibet and the west (East Asia) that lasted from 1354 to 1618 CE, about 264 years. Its people spoke Tibeto-Burman languages (Tibetan, Burmese, Newar, Pyu, Tangut).

Changchub Gyaltsen overthrew Sakya rule and restored a Tibetan kingship. Tsongkhapa founded the Gelug order in its time; after 1435 the Rinpungpa ministers took real power.
