Ancient names of the lakes near origin of River Indus are derived directly from Old Tamil language as LINGUA FRANCA contiguous with Indus Valley Civilization:
1. Location: in TIBET (southeast of KAILAS Range)
Current name : MANASAROVAR lake
Tibetan/local name : MampaYum Co
Archaic Indus Tamil name : Mampazha Coan Eri
மாம்பழக்கோனேரி
Tamil meaning : 'Mango-king' lake
Shape of lake : Mango-shaped
2. Location : (west of Manasarovar lake)
Current name : LaAng Cuo lake
Tibetan/local name : CuoLa/Ang Er i
Archaic Tamil name : Cuolai (CuoAngi) Eri
குவளை (குவங்கி) ஏரி
Meaning in Tamil : 'Water jug' lake; also 'blue' lake
Shape : Water jug
Color : aqua/light blue
!Cuolaiகுவளை=blue (in Tamil)
!LaAng=blue (in local Tibetan)
Current name : LaAng Cuo lake
Tibetan/local name : CuoLa/Ang Er i
Archaic Tamil name : Cuolai (CuoAngi) Eri
குவளை (குவங்கி) ஏரி
Meaning in Tamil : 'Water jug' lake; also 'blue' lake

It is more than mere coincidence that these two lakes look like குவளை (water vessel/pot/jug) and மாம்பழம் (mango) in shape, and at the same time are named exactly the same both in local Tibetan/Chinese and Old Tamil languages!!!
