Description:This is a talk among three participants in Chintang. The whole talk is concentrated on a family matters. We wanted to record some conversational texts in a natural setting. The recording was done in the veranda of a home in Chintang.
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
KM describes about her and her family. She also describes the situation of Chintang when she was young. She compares the present situation with the past one. Asha and Nisha also introduce themselves and describe the present situation of Chintang.
Chintang is the dominant language that is used throughout this session. There are very few words borrowed from Nepali and Bantawa into this text.
