Category:Languages of Tibet

This is not a sovereign country. -- Prince Kassad 16:59, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I admire your bravery. I think. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:03, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Keep it's a relatively well defined region, like Category:Languages of Asia. The genetic cats are for linguistics, but these geographic cats are probably more for the interest of casual users. Therefore I think Tibet fits the bill (why limit it just sovereign countries?). This sort of applies above to the Papuan one. --Bequw → τ 04:21, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Note that Papuan languages above is not geographical by nature. Also, I'm fearing this may be a precedent for creating, say, Category:Languages of East Turkestan, Category:Languages of Transnistria, Category:Languages of South Ossetia, Category:Languages of Tuva, Category:Languages of Andhra Pradesh, etc. and I don't think we want these. -- Prince Kassad 07:58, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

What’s sovereignty got to do with it? If a distinct part of country has a distinct linguistic identity, why not Category:Languages of Alaska or Category:Languages of Nunavut? — Robin 14:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Kept: Few people, no consensus. --Daniel. 14:35, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Category:Languages of Tibet

Small category with little potential to grow as we already unified most languages of Tibet.--Zcreator alt (talk) 15:24, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Keep. This is generated automatically by {{langcatboiler}} from manually-entered parameters, and there are lots of small categories- why delete just this one? Besides: even though the vast majority speak Tibetan, I would be very surprised if there weren't a fair number of small Tibeto-Burman languages scattered here and there.
