Transcription of "Tangut" with Chinese characters

I think it would be helpful to point out that Dǎngxiàng is only the standard pinyin romanization of the modern Mandarin Chinese pronunciation of 黨項（党项）. In Cantonese, the ethnonym of the Tangut would be romanized as Dong2-hong6, and in Korean, it would be romanized as Danghang. There is an odd resemblance to the ethnonym of the Mongolic-speaking Daur (formerly also Dahur or Daghur) people. Ebizur 18:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very confused and confusing article. How can the author leave out the work of the best-known historian of the Xi Xia, Ruth Dunnell? I don't have expert knowledge of the origins of the Tangguts but this article seems very confused on the issue of the Xianbei and particularly on the origins of the Monguors and Tu (which most historians place much later than the time of the Tangguts). The authors cite the Cambridge History article, but the account here of the Tangguts is strongly contradicted by the Cambridge History at many points. A perplexing article, much of which makes very little sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walt 45805 (talk • contribs) 18:56, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mongolian terms ending with "-t" in reference of ethnic groups mean "people"

Nestorianism

Church of the East in China says:

By the end of the century two new metropolitan provinces had been created for China: Tangut and 'Katai and Ong'.[11]

The province of Tangut covered northwestern China, and its metropolitan seems to have sat at Almaliq. The province evidently had several dioceses, even though they cannot now be localised, as the metropolitan Shemʿon Bar Qaligh of Tangut was arrested by the patriarch Denha I shortly before his death in 1281 'together with a number of his bishops'.[12]

I don't know if Tangut is used as a generic geographic designation or if it means that there were Nestorian Tanguts. --Error (talk) 11:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Extinct"

The lede paragraph currently says that the Tangut script is "extinct", but the link to the page about the script gives several extant examples of it. What is "extinct" intended to mean here? That the script isn't fully understood? If so, that seems a far remove from "extinct", and the phrasing should be changed to suit. Perhaps it should say "the language is extinct, although fragmentary and not-fully-understood examples of the script remain"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.160.22.36 (talk) 03:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As one of the defining traits of writing is its permanence compared to speech, an analogous description of writing systems as extinct (akin to extinct or dead languages) can be confusing—it just means that it's no longer in use by a language community (as opposed to academic use). As far as I am aware, the script is understood. Remsense ‥ 论 03:54, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
