The main

article is more specific, I'm inclined to think that it's this article about the language that is mistaken.

Well, that article says that it is unknown whether the language spoken in the Sutlej Valley is the same language spoken by the ancient Zhang Zhung people. The subject of this article is presumably the latter.—Nat Krause^{(Talk!·What have I done?)} 16:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article is indeed the ancient, extinct language. There is some research that suggests that there is a quite close relationship between some modern languages spoken in the Sutlej valley and the ancient language, but the exact nature of that relationship has not yet been determined. At any rate, from the limited vocabularies of the modern languages that I have seen it is clear that the ancient language is in many respects quite different from any living language.
