THOL

Magar is a Trans-Himalayan (Tibeto-Burman) language spoken throughout Nepal and North-East India. Although the number of speakers is estimated to be around 700,000 people (Nepal Census 2011), the Magar language is endangered, spoken by populations where, in some areas, the youngest generation already no longer speak the language. Speakers and linguists have mainly described and documented two Magar varieties: Eastern Magar, spoken in the districts of Tanahun, Gorkha and Nawalparisi, and 

Western Magar spoken in Syangja and Palpa.
