[BWL]

Wow that's quite a treasure trove!

I've been fascinated by the language since I heard the Amdo dialect while on a trip to China years ago. I was quite surprised to learn that the Lhasa dialect has tone (although less than in most Chinese dialects) while the Amdo dialect is atonal. Recently I had the opportunity to listen to someone speak Ladakhi and it sounds even more remote from Amdo dialect.

I'm definitely going to look through these materials!

Cheers!
