Description:This is the 5th session of the 9th monthly recording cycle of the child Man Kumar for the Child Language Development study.
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
On the flied, lots of children are around. Kuluke is around as well. They have little wooden crosses with which they run around and which are supposed to fly (like the upper part of an helicopter, Man Kumar puts a stick on it and runs around with it. They play with stones. They run around wildly, carry other children out of their way. Then they run around with their helicopters again. They teases Ilu saying Phillu.
