Wutun is a distinct form of Northwest Mandarin spoken by approximately 4000 people in a rural area called Seng ge gshong ('the valley of the lion') in the Wutun language, or Wutun (sic) in Standard Chinese, located a few kilometers from Rong bo (Long wu (sic)), the county seat of Reb gong (Tongren (sic)), in the Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai province, People's Republic of China. This article analyzes some features of basic and cultural Wutun vocabulary (Northwest Mandarin, Standard Chinese, and Tibetan items, as well as hybrid and idiosyncratic words) exploring prospects for lexical borrowing in an intense language contact situation, as well as the impact of the environment, cultural influences, and linguistic prestige in the development of the lexicon of a small language community.
