Description: | The first offering at the house of the Chambak (priest) during the festival of Wadhangmi. | |
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 | ||
The ritual takes place on the second day of the Wadhangmi festival in the morning. It is the first in a series of rites at the house of the Chambak. | ||
The text is recited in Chintang ritual language, which contains words derived from Nepali. | ||
The chambak invited the team to record this session in his house and courtyard. | ||
Dr. Gaenszle is the researcher in charge of ethnography | ||
He is member of the Tuprihang clan. Like his younger brother BBR he is a Chambak, i.e. a tribal shaman, who goes into trance during certain occasions. | ||
First 3 seconds of speech are not audible. | ||
