Runglo[edit]

A google test showed very few search results and no results that would suggest it is a real language. The creator is known on Wikipedia for creating false content. Mkdw ^talk 09:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete probably a hoax. Most of the Google results refer to an area of Papua New Guinea. Hut 8.5 11:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unsure. If it's a hoax, it's a pretty widespread one: [1], [2], etc. I'm not sure if this is referring to the T'rung people, also written as Taron, Tarong, Trung. I'd say it would be better to ask on some of the related project pages for assessment before deleting. -Yupik 12:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Dharchula article also talks about the Rung people. -Yupik 12:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is probably a hoax. Runglo is not mentioned in the Ethnologue ([3]), though it MAY refer to Northern and Southern Lorung, both languages in the "Himalayan region" [4], [5]. It is unlikely Rung refers to the T'rung (or Taron) people because there are almost no Taron people left in the world [6]. Even if this isn't a hoax, the article would have to be fundamentally rewritten. I vote this is either deleted or split into seperate articles about Northern and Southern Lorung and the unsourced material removed (e.g. They are very closely bonded and organise regular get togethers whenever possible).
