Lhoba (; Lo, Klo, Glo)〔Stein, R. A. (1972)〕 is any of a diverse amalgamation of Sino-Tibetan-speaking tribespeople living in and around Pemako, a region in southeastern Tibet〔Wessels, pg 255〕 including Mainling, Medog, Zayü counties of Nyingchi Prefecture and Lhünzê County of Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture.〔Baker, pg 465〕 The term is of obscure, though probably Standard Tibetan, in origin and is largely promulgated by the Chinese government, which officially recognises Lhoba as one of the 56 ethnic groups in China. Most people designated as "Lhoba" within the modern-day Tibet Autonomous Region ("TAR") actually refer to themselves via a diverse set of endonyms, speak different languages, and do not traditionally self-identify as a single entity.〔Lamb, pg 320〕 The two main tribal groups which fall under the designation "Lhoba" in the TAR are the Mishmi people (), who speak the Idu Mishmi language, and the speakers of the Bokar dialect () of Adi, who are found in far greater numbers inside Arunachal Pradesh, a state of modern-day India claimed by China. Other groups identified by Chinese authorities as "Lhoba" include the tagin people, who speak the tagin language. 〔Sun, ch. 1〕 ==History== The area which the modern Lhoba live today was known as Lhoyü (a.k.a. Luoyu, lho-yul, ལྷོ༌ཡུལ་; Lhoyü is a name of an area in Tibet now, lower Lhoyü is occupied by India as a part of Arunachal) in medieval texts. Luoyu came under the control of Tibet from the 7th century onwards and came under frequent subjugation from the Tibetans. It is not currently known whether modern-day Lhoba peoples in fact inhabited Luoyu at the time of Tibetan conquest, nor whether languages spoken by modern-day Lhoba peoples are indigenous to this region or not. While most Tani tribespeople living in modern-day Arunachal Pradesh point to a traditional homeland in or around this region,〔Nyori〕 there is currently no independent means of verification. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lhoba people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
