Talk:Shannan, Tibet

message: Partly in response to discussions on this page, I put up a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions. Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Tibetan) and Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Tibetan)#New naming convention proposal. This could affect the title that is eventually decided for this article. Your comments and feedback are requested.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 23:34, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I and most of my Tibetan friends are very confused by name of this article in English language. Original real name of this part of Tibet is LHOKHA (or Lhoka), when Chinese army came few years ago, they directly translated the name LHO-KA into Chinese language Shan-nan. Until today, 2016, people in Lhokha use name Lhokha, even Chinese people who speak Tibetan language use Lhokha. Same as Shigatse, Chamdo, Nyingchi or Ngari, name for Lhok(h)a region should be used in original language. This is the correct name for this region, without translation into any other language.
Considering "depending on which name is more common in English" in [conventions] for Tibetan, the reason is clear. 
On many Tibetan Conventions about Lhoka is used argument about Nicolas Tournadre who said locals in Lhoka calls their region Shannan. There is NO RELIABLE SOURCE FOR THIS INFORMATION AND SHOULD BE DISMISSED.
Many links used in the article goes to page with name LHOK(H)A. 
On Chinese websites translated into English is mostly used Lhoka. Why Western based website is using Chinese translation of the name?
Chinese names are unstable! E.g. When Chinese came to Tibet few years ago, they also called area of Nagchu "Hei-shui" (Nagchu = Black water, Heishui = black water). After few years they changed the name into phonetic translation "Na-qu". Who knows if in few years won't re-correct name for Lhoka.
While ongoing cultural and language genocide in Tibet, using Chinese translation word of Tibetan word as a name of the article in less than ethic and actually very helping this genocide!! This is very sad situation.
