| Description: | This talk is between two college girls who are the speakers of two different dialects of Chintang (Mulgaun and Sambugaun). The whole talk is concentrated on their own general matters. The conversation took place on the collector's request. I (NP) requested them (in Nepali) to talk about thing like 'they did not meet us, you did not ask us', etc in order to get more examples of multiple prefix forms. The speakers decided to talk about getting together and going to the movie theater the other day. The recording was done at Dhankuta bazar. The recording quality is good. | |
| 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, Devisthan 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 | ||
| Rikhi and Janak both talk about their activities of those days. Janak asks Rikhi that why she did not go to her home yesterday. Rikhi says that she went to watch movie. But she had not enough money so she sat on the front row (cheap ticket), she added. Why didn't you ask with me for some money? Janak says. | ||
| Chintang is the only language that is used throughout this session. However, there are very few words borrowed from Nepali. | ||
| The speakers Rikhi Maya and Janak Kumari are very good friends but they speak two different dialects of Chintang. They study and live together. | ||
| Janak works as one of our regular language consultants. She is a college level student. She was born and brought up in Chintang, Sambugaun. Both she and her parents have Chintang as the first native language but their ethnic background is Athpahare. She has never left the area for a long time. | ||
| I completed Masters Degree in Linguistics from Tribhuvan University, and currently working as a Research Assistant in the (DOBES) project. I am in charge of Linguistic works and analysis. | ||
| Rikhi works as one of our regular language consultants. She is a college level student. She was born and brought up in Chintang, Mulgaun.
