I woudl like to suggest that 'LangDang Yolmo' presented here as a dialect of Hyolmo also called Helambu Sherpa be presented as a separate dialect/language. According to Tournade Langtang is part of Kyirong-Kagate family, and our recent research (BOLD and Langtang Dictionary prove that Langtang shares some features with Kyirong that are not present in Hyolmo (most notable are the phonetic features, including front rounded vowels in words like tü ‘see’.)

Summary of Langtang BOLD can be found on https://www.academia.edu/85177630/BOLD_documentation_of_the_Langtang_lan...

I am new to Ethnologue, please excuse me if I am not providing all needed information. I am happy to share more.

 

Editorial Action

We will update information on Hyolmo [scp] in Nepal specifically concerning the Langtang dialect, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.
