Description:This is a short but interesting song in Chintang. It describes about the importance of mother tongue to new generation. It was sung up on our request.
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 a short song in Chintang. It is composed by one of our local consultants in Chintang. This song describes about the importance of language and culture to the new generation.
The whole song is in Chintang.
Mr. Lokendra Tele Rai was the consultant for this session. He composed this song himself. Mr. Paudyal collected, transcribed, translated and annoted this session.
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.
He is a native speaker of Chintang. He works as a primary school teacher in the same village. He has also collected some ritual texts and dialogues on his own.
