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.ConversationChild TalkUnspecifiedspeechUnspecifiedinteractivesemi-spontaneousnon-elicitedFamilyConversationFace to FaceThe utterances in this session are in Chintang except a few utterances in Nepali.ISO639-3:nepNepaliUnspecifiedfalsefalseNepali is the national language of Nepal.
