一小部分包含未被破译的语言的敦煌文献中的内容被称为古象雄语,但其性质尚存争议。

洞中宝藏(mDzod phug)

《洞中宝藏》(藏语མཛོད་ཕུག威利转写mdzod phug)是指由Shenchen Luga(藏语གཤེན་ཆེན་ཀླུ་དགའ威利转写gshen chen klu dga')于12世纪公开的一部伏藏[3]Martin(n.d.: p. 21)认定其对于研究象雄语有重要意义:

For students of Tibetan culture in general, the mDzod phug is one of the most intriguing of all Bön scriptures, since it is the only lengthy bilingual work in Zhang-zhung and Tibetan (some of the shorter but still significant sources for Zhang-zhung are signalled in Orofino 1990)."[4]

通常对于西藏文化的学者来说,《洞中宝藏》是所有苯教典籍中最神秘的一部,以其作为唯一长篇的象雄语和藏语双语作品(一些更短但仍然意义重大象雄文献于1990年在奥罗菲诺被报告)。

外部关系

Bradley(2002)称象雄语“现已认定”曾经是卡瑙里语或者西喜马拉雅语言。向柏霖(2009)驳斥早期假说时通过该语言被认定为非羌语支语言称象雄语可能源于西藏东部而非西部。[5]

Widmer (2014)[6]:53-56将象雄语归入西喜马拉雅语支的东部语群,并给出下列象雄语和原始西喜马拉雅语的同源词。

有多种文字被认为用来书写象雄语:[7]

苯教上师夏察·扎西坚赞西藏本教源流中认为,崩钦文、崩琼文是来自大食国的字母,分别演变出玛钦文、玛琼文,最后演变成藏文的有头体无头体,然而这种说法缺少有力的旁证。[9] [10]

然而这些文字很少以书写方式之外的方式出现。其中一个现存的文献是原在祖卜寺的印章,使用玛钦文。[11]

Unicode

玛钦文于2016年6月被Unicode 9.0 标准收录。

古象雄语

F. W. Thomas提出三部用藏文书写的未被破解的敦煌文献是以象雄语早期的形式书写的。这一鉴定得到了武内绍人的认同,他称其为“古象雄语”,并且补充了两份文献。[12]然而Dan Martin对于鉴定这些文本的语言为象雄语的变种的学说提出了疑问。

这些文献的其中两份收于不列颠图书馆斯坦因藏书书目中,另外三份收于法国国家图书馆贝希和藏书书目中。在不同情况下,写在与卷轴相反一侧的有价值的文本都包含了早期汉传佛教的文献。[12]用藏文书写的文献可追溯到8世纪末或9世纪初。武内和Nishida声称文献已部分破译,他们相信破译的部分是医学内容。[13]
