On Zhang-Zhung
Seibert Hummel (Author)
ISBN : 81-86470-24-7
Publisher : Paljor Publications Pvt. Ltd.
In this book Prof. Hummel revisits the whole issue of Zhang-zhung, concentrating particularly on its language, but also on the actual size and geographical position of this kingdom.
The studies presented here bring a host of new, almost provocative ideas, suggesting that Zhang-zhung was a vast confederacy of states stretching all the way from western to north-eastern Tibet, and that its language was in fact no artificail product. Tracing its origins to the eastern Tibetan region of Si-hia and Mi-nyag.
With the help of Zhang-zhung, the author even shed new light on the meaning of the old Tibetan kings ’ name. Without any pretensions to have fully resolved the issue of understanding the Zhang-zhung language, the author opens up new perspective for future research.
