Actually Tingri should be spelled as Dhingri, based on the Tibetan sound. Many of names of places in Tibet are wrongly written. Many of them do not match the original Tibetan names. —Preceding

Actually, “Dhingri” should be spelled
Tingri according to Guójiā cèhuìjú dìmíng yánjiūsuǒ 国家测绘局地名研究所, Xīzàng dìmíng 西藏地名 / bod ljongs sa ming བོད་ལྗོངས་ས་མིང (Tibetan Place Names), Beijing, Zhōngguó Zàngxué chūbǎnshè 中国藏学出版社 1995,
ISBN7-80057-284-6, and Guójiā cèhuìjú dìmíng yánjiūsuǒ 国家测绘局地名研究所, Zhōngguó dìmínglù 中国地名录 (Gazetteer of China), Beijing, Zhōngguó dìtú chūbǎnshè 中国地图出版社 1997),
ISBN7-5031-1718-4.
“Tingri” is not IPA at all (the name of the place is pronounced [tʰiŋri]), and it is actually the same as
Tingri County.
Dhingri is the correct Tournadre Phonetic spelling. However, I wouldn't object to moving it to Tingri, since this spelling seems to give our readers as good a chance as any to pronounce it correctly, and this spelling also seems to be quite common.—

What have I done?)03:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Please see above for discussion about a move to "Tingri". Sorry, I started this process the wrong way (cut and paste) and was contacted by
Corvus cornix about it. I hope I haven't made too many mistakes which will be difficult to correct. Hopefully, I am doing the right thing now.
