"Today there are at most 70 thousand speakers of the Tujia language, all of whom live in the northern part of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in north-western Hunan Province." This doesn't agree with the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hubei. Is someone just making drastic assumptions?--146.7.86.6 16:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tonal?

Is it a tonal language? Badagnani 02:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there are four tones with tone contours: 55, 53, 35 and 21. This is the same in both the Northern and Southern dialects. --72.75.55.29 05:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Tuija script discovered?

You might like to consider including some material from the following article (recently noted by http://www.ancientscripts.com): http://en.epochtimes.com/news/8-2-24/66522.html
