Is there any information loss in the orthography: tone, length, etc.?

If it is not Sino-Tibetan, it probably is an isolate?

Yes, the orthography doesn't mark tone (except, presumably, in one word) and certain vowel contrasts.

Yes, it's either considered an isolate, or a part of a small language family.

Yes.
I’m going to cry foul about this. I consider these languages to come under the heading of ‘Sino-Tibetan’, or at the very least, to be deserving of something more than an unqualified response ‘No’ to that question.

Then it has three answers: yes, no, and Arunachal.

That was an "Aye, it is indeed a Plateau language". It is not classified as a Jakunoid language, as far as I know.
