| Description: | The narrative is a highly syncretic composition, influenced by both Hindu puranic stories and Rai mythology. | |
| 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 story recounts the origin of the world, the fighting of demons and gods, and the creation of culture. | ||
| The session is mainly in Chintang with frequent loanwords and occasional code switching into Nepali. | ||
| He is a Chintang elder from the Khɨkkhang clan. His father was a naŋsuba (priest). He himself was a vice-chairman of the village district (at the time called Panchayat). | ||
| Dr. Gaenszle is the researcher in charge of ethnography | ||
