Common Language, "Mustang"
refers to the similarity of Tibetan Plateau, at the
northern end of the Kali Gandaki River . Mustang is
probably a Nepalese mispronunciation of the name of
the capital of Lo, the city of Manthang. The name
is pronounced "Moo-stang" and has nothing
to do with either the automobile or horse with a similar
name.The region of Tibetan influence north of Kagbeni
is generally referred to as upper Mustang. Upper Mustang
consists of two distinct regions: the southern region,
with five villages inhabited by people related to
the Manangis; and the northern region (the ancient
kingdom of Lo where the language, culture and traditions
are almost purely Tibetan. The capital of Lo is named
Manthang, which translates from the Tibetan as "plain
of aspiration".
