The Chepangic languages are two Sino-Tibetan languages of uncertain affiliation within the Tibeto-Burman branch, spoken in Nepal: Chepang, used by the Chepang people, historically a semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer community, and the related Bhujel, also called Bujhyal. Recent scholarship places the pair within a broader Greater Magaric grouping.
