Talk:Khams Tibetan

message: I do not know how to edit the title of a page. If anyone does, please change the name of this page to "Kham Tibetan Language". The reason for this is that the leters of the title should signify correct pronunciation. The "s" comes from the Tibetan spelling and is not pronounced. Since the title is not a transliteration the "s" must be removed.
I have already removed it from th body of the text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Woodlandjustin (talk • contribs) 16:18, 25 March 2007

replies: text: It would be better to call it Kham dialect as it's a dialect of Tibetan rather than a language itself. KarenLil (talk) 10:35, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ethnologue  lists the language as "Tibetan, Khams" and that's the label given to its ISO code, so Khams Tibetan seems to be the most likely search term. --Gimme danger (talk) 10:46, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree. It would be better to rename this as "Kham Tibetan Dialect" as it is not an isolated/distinct language from general Tibetan. I am also looking at the Amdo language page and I think that should also be renamed "Amdo Tibetan Dialect".--Anythingpossible (talk) 00:56, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

text: If we change this, we should also change the beginning of the Standard Tibetan article: "Standard Tibetan, often called Central Tibetan, in Tibetan script : བོད་སྐད་, is the official language of Tibet." Moonsell (talk) 12:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, we need a "Tibetan language" page, linking to Classical Tibetan as well as all the dialects mentioned above. Moonsell (talk) 12:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just found the Tibetan languages page, which thickens the plot here considerably. Moonsell (talk) 14:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Moreover, "Tibetan language" currently redirects to Standard Tibetan. Anyone know how to change this? Moonsell (talk) 13:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: I've changed the definition in the introduction to read "...dialect...", not "language". Please see the "Requested move" discussion above for more on this. I've also changed other Tibetan dialect pages and asked people there to continue this discussion on this page here. This article still needs to be renamed to "Kham Tibetan Dialect", as above. Does anyone know how to do this? Moonsell (talk) 13:44, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Tibetan language family is as varied as the Romance family. Linguistic works on Tibetan languages refer to them as such. This article does not need to be changed. Tibetologist (talk) 14:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that. Please specify which linguistic works. That will enable us to get down to brass tacks. Moonsell (talk) 20:40, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Follow the ISO link in the info box, for one. kwami (talk) 05:36, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: "dialect", not "language"

message: It is well-recognized in literature on Tibetan dialectology that Khams is not a single dialect/language with the homogeneity like Central Tibetan or Amdo, and is better described as a cluster of dialects / languages each as distinct as CT or Amdo.
