This topic seems more difficult than I thought :-)

I'd prefer {jatlhbe'}...

There's the difference:
DIvI' Hol vIjatlhlaHchu' jIH net Sov ('e' vIHar :-)
'ach DIvI' Hol Sung vIrurbe'... jIHbe'bej.

Yes, but then again - nobody does rur matlh.

Now I think that {Sung Hol} is even better than {Hol wa'DIch}. I would define it as the language that is spoken at the country of your origin (even if you do not speak it all!)
But then do we not come back to {mung Hol}?
