Chepangic languages

Eurasian Language Families

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.

Chepangic (Chepang and Bhujel) is classified within the Greater Magaric group, itself part of Tibeto-Burman; linked here to the more specific Greater Magaric parent rather than the broader Tibeto-Burman ancestor.
