message: The article begins by saying "Lhoba (Chinese: 珞巴) is a term of obscure (though probably Tibetan)". Is it really obscure? If it's lho-pa, then that means "southerners" in Tibetan. They live south of Tibet. It seems pretty straightforward.—Greg Pandatshang (talk) 23:28, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Reference 10 does not mention "miniscule" even though it is scare-quoted in the article. I'm not sure if this is from some Chinese government source and translated, but the scare quotes should obviously be sourced. 73.82.6.199 (talk) 15:38, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference 10 

message: ===Rationale===
Terminology: "Lhoba" is an exonym used to refer to the same group of people who identify themselves as "Tani." The use of endonyms is preferred for accuracy and cultural respect.
Content Overlap: The information about the Lhoba people can be seamlessly integrated into the Tani People article. Both articles cover similar cultural, linguistic, and historical aspects.
Article Size and Weighting: Merging will not cause any issues with article size or weighting. It will streamline content, making it more comprehensive and easier to navigate for readers.
Proposed Integration:
Introduction: Briefly explain the terminology, noting that "Lhoba" is an exonym while "Tani" is the endonym.
History and Culture: Combine sections to provide a unified account of the Tani people's history and cultural practices.
Linguistic Aspects: Consolidate linguistic information, highlighting the various languages and dialects spoken within the Tani group.

replies: text: "Lhoba" is a term used in Tibet/China. It is not used in India. So, I don't think it can be identified with any other term or ethnicity in India. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: But it still refers to the same group. Lhoba as a term is used by the chinese to refer to tani communities in china. Like indians call themselves bhartiya among themselves and indian outside. So my proposal is to merge the Lhoba people page within Tani people, since it doesn't make sense to have two separate pages for the same group. Even Naga people page, for myanmar and indian naga are the same Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

text: Lhoba as a term is also used by monyuls and Na tanis to refer themselves in the state of arunachal, but yes the term Lhoba/Luoba are derived from tibetan and mandarin respectively. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 03:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

text: This page should be the one that should be merged with the Tani people page since the term, Tani is an endonym, and it would make sense to include the page title after an endonym. All exonyms can be mentioned separately in this page itself, and any searches with Lhoba or any other exonym can be redirected towards this page. Even in India, there are multiple exonyms for the Tani community such as Hill Miri, Abor, Dapla, etc similar to the term Lhoba, which is the exonym used in china.
