Gavin,
Thanks for that correction, although I note that
information online indicates that the Monpa are a nomadic people, with about 50,000 in Arunachal Pradesh and another 25,000 in Tibet. They are one of the 56 recognized minority groups in China. Their languages fall into the
Tibeto-Burman cluster, and they write with the Tibetan alphabet. Most of them are Tibetan buddhists.
