Dokham

Le Dokham (tibétain : མདོ་ཁམས, Wylie : mdo khams, THL : dokham), parfois écrit Do-Kham, est un terme qui désigne conjointement les deux régions du Tibet oriental de l'Amdo et du Kham^[1].

La conception dominante chez les Tibétains en exil d'une division du Tibet en trois régions que seraient l'Ü-Tsang, l'Amdo et le Kham est relativement récente. Au milieu du XVII^e siècle, les trois divisions étaient le Ngari Korsum, l'Ü-Tsang et le Dokham (comprenant l'Amdo et le Kham)^[2].

As mdo khams it may be found in Tibetan, as duo gansi in Chinese sources, starting in the Mongol-Chinese Yuan dynasty (1274-1368).8 Eastern Tibet, i.e. the region beyond the Central Tibetan provinces of Ü and Tsang, is then generally referred to as Do-Kham Gang-sum (mdo khams sgang sum), or Do-Kham Gang-drug (mdo khams sgang drug): that is to say the 'three, or six, mountains [of] mDo [and] Kham'.9 The term sgang is meant to designate the pasture grounds on the high upland between the great river systems of Salween, Mekong, Yangtse, Yalong Jiang, and their tributaries.10 As a toponym Do-Kham thus seems to represent a comprehensive concept of the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau or realm, as is stated in Das' Tibetan-English Dictionary: [mdo khams] Mdo and Khams, indicates Am do, the province of Tibet S.E. of KököNor, and Kham.11. »
