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 TalkUnspecifiedspeechUnspecifiedinteractivespontaneousnon-elicitedFamilyConversationFace to FaceThe conversation is in Chintang language in general.
