Preferred term
Walungge
Definition
- Walungge language is spoken by Walungge people in Nepal and Tibet. It has 71% lexical similarity with the Lhasa Tibetan. Clark (2019) places it in a group which he calls ‘WDT Bhote,’ where the three varieties are Walungge, Thudam, and Dhokpya. The speakers of these varieties reside in Taplejung and Sankhuwasabha in Province No. 1, Nepal, although some speakers reported areas outside of those districts, including in Tibet and in India, where the language is also spoken. In the classification, Walungge is placed in the Central Tibetan branch and more specifically in the South-Western Tibetic branch.
