::: There is nothing about the Qiang tribes in the History of Tibet (- Wiki) article! Can't we say that they were Proto-Tibetans? My sources (Eberhard, Gumilev, the footnotes of The Book of Han, etc.) say: The Qiang people were the Tibetans. and they say: the Qiang people were the allies of the Xiongnu people.  
 ::: & in that article there is nothing about Tibet-Burma, Tibet-Bhutan connections... Where did the Tibeto-Burman languages come from then?  
 ::: & no mention of Former Qin (351-394), Later Qin (384-417) (Can't we say that they were Qiang-Chinese states?); Later Liang (386-403)(Di-Chinese state), Western Xia (Xi Xia / Tangut), Tuyuhun Kingdom (Xianbei + Tibetan state) Weren't they the Tibetans? -Here I'm talking about "the Greater Tibet" (Tibet and parts of Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, Yunnan) Who were living in these lands during the Qin Dynasty?  
 ::: & I want to learn your opinions about the Quanrong people and Di (ethnic group)... (Weren't they the Proto-Tibetans?)  
 ::: Tibet  Is it a Turkic name? "Tüpüt" (Old Turkic) = Tibet, "töpü"(Old Turkic) = hill, "tepe" (Turkish) = hill ; so Tüpüt = "the land of mountains"?  
 ::: Wiki says: "Tibet" names in European languages are loanwords from Arabic طيبة، توبات (Ṭībat or Tūbātt), itself deriving from Turkic Töbäd "The Heights" (plural of töbän) / Is it true?  
 & I want to say the History of Tibet did NOT begin in the 7th century! Regards
