Tubo
Say, why did you change tǔfān to Tǔbō in the article on Tibet?&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!) 21:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, this seems to be an oft-mooted opinion. However, what is the source for this point? How did you come by this information? You might also refer to this discussion; one contributor says there is an issue of Sino-Platonic papers debunking "Tubo".&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!) 22:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * But, it seems implausible that the five pronunciations of 蕃 were bō, bó, fān, fán, and pí in medieval Chinese, because those are all modern Mandarin pronunciations, and words were often quite different in medieval Chinese. It's not clear to me whether you're asserting that Tǔbō is currently the correct pronunciation, or that Tǔbō used to be the pronunciation.&mdash;Nat Krause(Talk!) 19:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
