		Qiangic Speaking Tibetans speak dialects that are related to the Qiang language.
		The Qiangic Tibetans, many of whom live in Western Sichuan Province, are the Heishui Tibetans, the Jiarong, the Ergong, the Zhaba, the Queyu, the Quiqiong, the Muya, the Ersu, the Sichuan Pumi, the Shixing, and the Namuyi.
		Qiangic Speaking Tibetan homes all have a place where they pray to the gods they believe are living in local mountains, rivers, trees, and earth.

	AM/CCSM - Ergong
		It is a member of the Qiangic branch of Tibeto-Burman.
		One scholar notes that the various Qiangic languages, including Ergong, “are of unusual interest, both synchronically and diachronically.
		They are characterized by initial consonant clusters comparable in complexity to those of Written Tibetan.… Some languages of the group are tonal, while others are not, providing an ideal terrain for the investigation of the mechanisms of tono-genesis.” The Ergong speak their mother tongue within their own communities but use Chinese or Tibetan with outsiders.

		Note that the 'SanMiao' people were mostly relocated to western China to guard against the western barbarians by Lord Shun as a punishment for their aiding Dan Zhu (the son of Lord Yao reign 2357-2258 BC ?) in rebellion.
		All were Tibetan terms and phrases." Tibetans, clearly the descendants of Sino-Tibetan-speaking Qiangic SanMiao people, had their influences reaching the southern Chinese Turkistan in addition to the He-xi Corridor.
		P.T. Takla stated further that "according to Wu Hriu(2), the facial features of the people of Khotan were dissimilar to those of the rest of the Horpa nomads of Drugu (Uighurs belonging to the Turkic people) and similar, to an extent, to the Chinese.

	Sino-Tibetan languages Summary
		Kachinic (e.g., Jinghpo, or Kachin proper, in northern Myanmar) is sometimes classified as a subbranch of Baric, but some researchers group it with Burmic or treat it as a separate Tibeto-Burman branch.
		Qiangic, a small family in South China, has been added to Tibeto-Burman recently; it is sometimes viewed as a separate branch of the family, sometimes included in Burmic.
		The extinct language of the Tangut (the language of the Xi Xia empire, which flourished in Gansu and Shaanxi Provinces between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries), written in a highly unique and complicated script, is mostly viewed as Tibeto-Burman.

	STEDT: The Sino-Tibetan Family
		A large literature in Xixia survives, in a logographic writing system invented in the 11th c., with thousands of intricate characters inspired by, but graphically independent of Chinese, the decipherment of which is now well-advanced by Japanese and Russian scholars (Nishida 1964/66, Sofronov 1968).
		From the limited data so far made available, the Qiangic languages are of unusual interest, both synchronically and diachronically.
		Since Kachinic shows phonological and lexical similarities with several other branches of TB (Kamarupan, Himalayish, Lolo-Burmese [Matisoff 1974]), it has been considered to be genetically central in the TB family, just as it is geographically central (STC, p.6; Burling 1971).

	AM/CCSM - Bolozi
		Within a generation or two there may be no remembrance of their distinct ethnic origins.
		Little is known about the Bolozi language which may belong to the Qiangic branch of Tibeto-Burman.
		Most Bolozi men and children are also fluent in Chinese, but many Bolozi women have never been to school and only know their mother tongue.

	Tibetans - Political, Social, Cultural, Historical Analysis Of China -- Research Into Origins Of Huns, Uygurs, Mongols ...
		In the section on prehistory, I have traced the origin of the Qiangic people to the Fiery Lord (Yandi) Tribe which carried the name of 'Jiang'.
		The grandson, called Yeyan, would name his statelet 'Tuyuhun' by claiming that the ancient Chinese gave their statelets names on basis of the fact that the son of a duke or king usually used the name of the duke or king as family name or statelet name.
		After his father (Tuyan) was killed by a Qiangic chieftain, he would make a straw man in the image of the Qiangic chieftan and shot arrows at it.

	Tosu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Tosu call themselves ‘Tibetan’ in Chinese and are classified accordingly by the Chinese authorities, despite their non-Tibetan language.
		The Tosu language belongs to the Qiangic branch of Tibeto-Burman and is said to be one of the three dialects of the Ěrsū language, the other two being Ěrsū proper and Lìsū or Lǚsū.
		In view of the fact that these so-called dialects are rather different and mutually unintelligible, they should be classified as separate languages, which together form the Ěrsū group.

		In this note, he gave a relatively detailed explanation of the names of those ethnic groups and their areas of habitation.
		Upon examination of this note, it is possible to see that all these ethnic groups are those that lived in those areas where the Qiangic (羌) people lived.
		Thus, though I am not quite sure about the correctness of my conclusion on Tibeto-Qiangic people being the true Zhou ethny, different from the Chinese, it is true that they already had a highly developed concept of "ethnicity" at that time and they were considered Non-Chinese ethny at that time.

	Tibeto-Burman Languages Page
		Standard principles of linguistic geography point to the same conclusion, for it is in the area of southeastern Tibet, northern Burma, western Yunnan, and the frontiers of Arunachal Pradesh that we find the greatest linguistic diversity.
		In an area describable as a right triangle 250 miles on a side, we find all the major branches of the family except Karen, and a large number of the subbranches--both Burmish and Yipho, Qiangic, Kachinic, four of the five subbranches of Baric, and two of the four subbranches of Bodic.
		The rest of the Tibeto-Burman-speaking area is linguistically segregated, with Bodic languages spread westward along the Himalayas, Burmese- Yipho speakers south and east along the Mekhong and Irrawady systems, and Baric groups clustering along the southern edge of the core area, and spreading down the Brahmaputra (Bodo-Garo) and Chindwin (Kuki-Chin).

	Xixia (Tangut) Script and Unicode
		Conquered by the Mongols in 1227, there were 10 emperors total, spanning some 190 years.
		黨項羌, CH:1875; JAM:2004, “‘Brightening’ and the place of Xīxià in the Qiangic branch of Tibeto-Burman”), and vestiges of Tangut speech are said to be found in minority languages of 甘肅 Gānsù and 四川 Sìchuān provinces (木雅 = Muya = Mi-nyag; 道孚, 新龍, 爐霍 → 大木雅; 六巴 → 小木雅; 1997:2,11).
		The script and language have been studied in growing detail since the beginning of the 20th century, by Russian, Chinese, and Japanese paleographers and phonologists (paleography is a criterion for phonology here), following discoveries in the early 1900s, and gradual publication of a number of manuscripts (some only published in the late 1990s).

		I will use Shi-zi's record of deep eye socket people to the north of Huangdi as a corrobaration that Huangdi people were not of deep-socket eyes at all.
		In the paragraph on the origin of Huns, I had also expounded the ethnic nature of various Rong people as mainly Sino-Tibetan speaking Qiangic people.
		I would make a claim here that the Huns were semi-sinicized people who had lived along the Chinese border for thousands of years, and the Huns were much more civilized than the later Jurchens and Mongols.

		The Qiang language belongs to the Qiangic branch of the Tibeto-Burman family of the Sino-Tibetan stock.
		Some of the characteristics of the Qiangic branch include having a cognate set of direction marking prefixes; quite degenerate, though clearly cognate person marking paradigms; and radical loss of syllable final consonants, but preservation of complex initials and clusters.
		(Other members of the Qiangic branch include Pumi (Prinmi), Muya, Ergong, Shixing, Namuzi--see Sun 1982, 1983, 1985.

	Why are there no antiMongolian protests
		(See buttertions By Wang Zhonghan for clues as to the relationship between Qiangic Proto-Tibetan and Altaic Proto-Hun activities: "the northern barbarians and western barbarians were similar i.e., Qiangs at Spring-Autumn time period, but by the time of late Warring States, Chinese began to see the northern barbarians as different from the western barbarians".)
		Kong An'guo of Han Dynasty claimed that among the four evil tribes exiled by Lord Yao, Hundun were infilial descendants of Huangdi the Yellow Lord; Gun was infilial son of Lord Zhuanxu; the 'Sanmiao' (Qiangic) people were said to be infilial descendants of Yandi the Fiery Lord.
		At the earliest time of history, the explicit barbarians mentioned would be Xunyu in the north.

		This has also been an important area historically, as it comprises a large number of principalities, kingdoms and tribes.
