Description

This article discusses the dialectal affiliation of Tibetic varieties spoken in gYagrwa Township (gYagrwa Tibetan), located in the north-west corner of Yunnan Province, China. In-depth research on the position of gYagrwa Tibetan has not been conducted since it is spoken at the edge of the Tibetosphere in Yunnan, which is connected to Sichuan and the Tibet Autonomous Region. This article first provides the sound system and characteristics of gYagrwa Tibetan (principally the dialects of Nyungzhing and rDolateng), and then discusses its dialectal affiliation following the criterion of shared innovations. It concludes that gYagrwa Tibetan belongs to the Southern Route dialect group, in which it forms an independent subgroup.
