dbpprop:abstract
  • Zhang-Zhung (象雄語) or Zhangzhung is an extinct Tibeto-Burman language that was spoken in western Tibet and Central Asia from about the seventh to tenth centuries CE. It remains the sacred language of the Bon religion. Some Western Tibetan place names derive from the Zhang-Zhung language, for instance Burang (Tibetan spu hreng) is believed to derive from the Zhang-Zhung phrase pu hrang meaning 'horse head' (pu means 'head', and hrang means 'horse', with reversed word order compared with the equivalent Tibetan phrase rta mgo). Bradley (2002) states that it "is now agreed to have been a Kanauri or West Himalayish language."
  • Zhang-Zhung (象雄語) eller Zhangzhung är ett utdött sinotibetanskt språk som talades i västra Tibet och centrala Asien från 700-talet till 1000-talet e. Kr.
