I believe the Zhang Zhung Nyan Gyud does....and scholars are well aware

Unfortunately what has happened is that the whole research thrust has
taken the neo-Vedic and Vaishnavite route, esp. since the "British

Sanskrit.

If you are unfamiliar with this I recommend the Tamil Shaivite poets.
Great stuff.
