Name for the Western Rgyalrong languages

[Xun Gong]

I try to paraphrase what all of you propose about Tre-hor:

Guillaume and Hiroyuki prefer Tre-hor, because this term "designates
an area larger than Rtau rdzong itself", and so avoids the problem of
designating a wide-spread language with only one of its dialects.

Lhundrop, however, doesn't like this term, because it actually
designates a very specific area, namely the third 区 of the County of
Brag-mgo. (However, I couldn't find which townships correspond to the
third 区.) Furthermore, according to Lhundrop, the language spoken in
this specific area is Kham Tibetan. So it would be even less
appropriate than Rtau, because at least many people in Rtau county
speak Rtau.

Did I understand your ideas correctly?

Best regards,
