Description: | This song is recorded on collector's (Goma Banjade) request in Dhankuta. She wanted to record a song. It is written by Rikhi Maya Rai and sung by Janak Kumari Rai. This song addresses the contemporary political issue of Nepal. | |
The aim of the project is to provide a rich linguistic and ethnographic documentation of two highly endangered but almost totally undocumented languages in eastern Nepal, Chintang and Puma. These 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 hilly part of the country.http://www.cpdp.uzh.ch | ||
This is an invented song. It suggests people not to fight among themselves and be united. The song says, ''we should be united, we should not fight with each other''. The song further says, we all are brothers, one brother should not kill the other. We should not offer our blood to Lord Buddha. | ||
Chintang is the only language that is used throughout this session. However, there are very few words borrowed from Nepali as well. | ||
