Nyalung Village. Who would possibly know what this village refers to. It isn't in Wylie and it's not in Chinese. At least Chinese pinyin is standard. Why can't the many employees who are making substantial salaries in the Tibetan service provide clear information? This happens again and again. Very weird Tibetan that nobody has a clue as to what it refers to, made even more obscure by not providing Chinese names for the same place.

These are Tibetan villages in Tibetan areas. RFA should use the Tibetan name first. If they want to include the Chinese-pinyin name as well that's fine but RFA should not neglect the fact these lands/towns/villages are Tibetan first.
