	Pushp & Warikoo: Jammu, Kashmir & Ladakh - Linguistic Predicament
		According to his initial survey Balti resembles more the Kham dialect than other Tibetan dialects of U and Thsang and Amdo etc. He further suggests that either the first Tibetan settlers of Baltistan could be the Khambas or at least majority of the settlers were Khambas.
		The present Balti language or Balti form of Tibetan language is spoken in the whole of Baltistan and it is said that Purki-dialect of Purig and Suru-Kartse valleys come in to the Balti group linguistically.
		All the languages and dialects of the mountain region in the north of Pakistan including Burushaski and Shina belong to the Indian or Persian group of languages, but the Balti is the only language which belongs to the "Tibeto-Burman" branch of "Sino-Tibetan" group of languages.

	A Bit Of History - Thailand Forum
		These theories, furthermore, claim that Southern Thai evolved from the Sukhothai dialect and Central Thai or Thai from the Ayutthaya dialect...
		This early system consisted of three tones on syllables ending in a long vowel, a semi-vowel or a nasal (kham pen ’live syllable’ in traditional Thai grammatical terms)...
		Outside Bangkok and the central plains, other dialects and languages of the Tai family coexist with the standard : Northern Thai (Kam Muang or Yuan) in the North, Southern Thai in the South and Lao or Northeastern Thai in the Northeast.

	Thailand Forum > Thai Language
		There are vocabulary differences, phonetic variations, and a few tonal changes, not to mention rural slang vs urban slang, which make the language the locals speak something other than a dialect of Central Thai.
		Most people from Bangkok and the Central plains find it easier to understand Lao dialects than rural Southern Thai, which is within the borders of the same country.
		The people in that area speak what I call a very deep Kham Muang and people from Bangkok, Central Thai speakers, have a very difficult time understanding what is being said in conversation, especially the speech of those over 40 who never did learn to speal Central Thai.

	Global Markets and Sacred Mountains
		In some areas, locals still speak of the "mountain ass" ("Shan l" or "jakala" in the local Kham dialect of Tibetan), an animal described as having the body of a small horse with the sharp short horns of a goat.
		A crossroads in this treasury of exotica is the jumble of mountain ranges and river valleys in western China, where the deserts of the north, the tropical forests of the south, the temperate life-zone of central China and the unique fauna of the highlands of Tibet all come together.
		Mountains have always been and will probably continue to be the last refuges of much of the world's wildlife.

		Kandzê Gompa (Gelukpa), dominating the north end of town, built by the Mongols in 1642 above their castles of Mazur and Khangsar after they successfully subdued the area (helping DL5 to extend the influence of his Gelukpa school into Kham).
		History: The dialect of Tibetan spoken here is distinct from that of the neighbouring counties, possibly owing to the fact (or legend) that the people of Daofu are descendants of people of the Xixia Kingdom (in Gansu) whom, upon their defeat at the hands of Genghis Khan in 1227, migrated to the county of Daofu.
		Kirti Gompa (Gelukpa) in town centre, founded 1472, is one of the largest monasteries in the county and is home to about a 1000 monks, as is Ser Gompa (Jonangpa).
