Narrative folktale story telling speech story about a demon non-interactive spontaneous non-elicited Family Monologue Face to Face The whole story is in Chintang. However, there are some lexical items borrowed from Bantawa and Nepali as well. ISO639-3:bap Bantawa false false false ISO639-3:ctn Chintang true true true Chintang (also spelled Chhintang, as the palatal stop is sometimes transcribed as ch; h indicates aspiration) is one of the languages studied by the Chintang and Puma Documentation Project. It is a Tibeto-Burman language belonging to the Kiranti family. It may be classified along with Athpare, Belhariya (Belhare), and Chiling as one subgroup of the Eastern Rai languages. Chintang is spoken as mother tongue by around 4000 speakers in Chintang VDC, and nowhere else, except in one ward of Ahale VDC. Most speakers are trilingual in Chintang, Nepali and Bantawa. The language is polysynthetic, double-marking (on all levels) and verb final. ISO639-3:nep Nepali false false false Nepali is the national language of Nepal having its long written tradition of more than eight hundred years. It belongs to the Indo-Aryan sub-family and has adopted the Devanagari script for long. It is also written in the Roman script during the British-India era and in some British-Gurkha regiments. The speakers are widely spread out in Nepal and north-eastern part of India and Bhutan. It is also one of the national languages of India. It has a rich literature tradition and is taught in the schools and universities in Nepal and India as well. Nearly 50% of the Nepali population has adopted Nepali as their first language and nearly 90% of them speak this language in their day-to-day life. Being the constitutional language of Nepal and India and having its long history of written language and literature, Nepali is a dominant language to other linguistic communities in Nepal. Intercaste and interethnic marriages, migration and schooling in Nepali causes it as the first language of Nepali communities in Nepal on one hand and other indigeneous languages have heavy borrowing from it on the other hand. It is also note worthy that some of the linguists have mentioned Nepali as the "killer-language" in this context. It is the language of bureaucracy, courts and mass media having significant borrowing from Sanscrit and Perso-Arabic as well. This is a popular folk tale in Chintang. In this story, Sanch Maya narrates how a clever boy escapes from a man-eater lady's hand. The whole text is concentrated on the different activites of the man-eater lady. Mr. Paudyal works as a collector and annotator for this session and Sanch Maya Rai as a speaker. There were not any participants, but as it was recorded in a family environment there were some listeners.

N/A N/A
Sancha Maya Rai is one of our hosts in Chintang. She acts as a speaker, but also helps to establish social relation in Mulgaun area. She was born in Danda gaun, Ward no. 1 of Chintang village, and she also grew up there. Her language is highly influenced by Bantawa. Sancha Maya's first language is Bantawa. She acquired Chintang as a second language from the community. These days, she uses Chintang in her family. She is also fluent in Nepali. ISO639-3:ctn Chintang false false Chintang (also spelled Chhintang, as the palatal stop is sometimes transcribed as ch; h indicates aspiration) is one of the languages studied by the Chintang and Puma Documentation Project. It is a Tibeto-Burman language belonging to the Kiranti family. It may be classified along with Athpare, Belhariya (Belhare), and Chiling as one subgroup of the Eastern Rai languages. Chintang is spoken as mother tongue by around 4000 speakers in Chintang VDC, and nowhere else, except in one ward of Ahale VDC. Most speakers are trilingual in Chintang, Nepali and Bantawa. The language is polysynthetic, double-marking (on all levels) and verb final. ISO639-3:bap Bantawa true true Bantawa is polysynthetic language of the Kirati family of Sino-Tibetan and is spoken by most of the Rais in eastern Nepal. There are nearly 30 different languages spoken by the Rai community. Bantawa is a language of majority among the Rais and in many cases it serves as the lingua franca. Historically it seems the pattern of migration takes place from the west to the east of Nepal and most of the Rais give up their languages and take up Bantawa as they move to the east. Therefore it is widely spoken in the Bhojpur, Dhankutta, Panchthar and Ilam districts of eastern Nepal. It is also spoken in the west Bengal and Sikkim provinces of India and Bhutan. It has no script of its own and has no written tradition. Presently the government of Nepal has introduced Bantawa in the primary schools and text books are available now up to grade four. Radio Nepal also has its program of daily news broadcasting in Bantawa. The government of Sikkim has also introduced this language in the primary schools recently and they have invented a kind of script of their own, but in the case of Nepal, Bantawa is written in Devanagari with some extra diacritics. There is no reliable source to quote the number of speakers but it can be estimated that there are some one houndred thousand speakers in Nepal and approximately 50 thousand in India and Bhutan. ISO639-3:nep Nepali false false Nepali is the national language of Nepal. It is widely used as lingua franca. And it is the major medium of teaching at schools. As Nepali is increasingly used as primary language, it poses the greatest threat to the endangered languages of Nepal.
