Documentation of Chintang and Puma, two Kiranti languages in East Nepal
Coverage:Nepal

Description:This is the third session of the fourth bimonthly recording cycle of the child1, LDCh1, 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 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.
LDCh1 and Ram eat rice. (When I went to LDCh1's home, he was eating rice. He was alone. Later his elder siblings Ram and Devi returned home from the corn field and I started recording.) LDCh1 is wandering around in a bored manner at the beginning of the video. He promptly joins his brother and watches his sister do some housework. Him and his brother eat some snacks. After watching their sister finish her work, they decide to sit together and toy around while trying to overcome boredom. LDCh1's brother subsequently goes into the house and gets some food, for both himself and LDCh1, which they enjoy together. LDCh1 brings the empty dish back into the house while his brother cleans up the mess they made as they were eating. Subsequently, both of them rest on a strawmat until their sister arrives and they play games. At the end of the video, their sister leaves and both of them resume resting together.
