[edit] 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)
