Description: | This session was recorded at Beltar VDC, Udayapur district. The Puma people in the Phagu festival meet together and sing this kind of song. This is a romantic song. | |
The aim of the project is to provide a rich linguistic and ethnographic documentation of two highly endangered but almost totally undcumented languages in eastern Nepal, Chintang and Puma. These two languages belong to the Kiranti family of Tibeto-Burman. Chintang is spoken by the Chintang Rai in Chintang Village Development Committee (VDC) of Dhankuta district. Puma is spoken by the Puma Rai in Diplung, Mauwabote and Pauwasera VDCs, to the south of Khotang bazar in Khotang district. Both these districts are situated in the eastern part of the country.http://www.cpdp.uzh.ch | ||
