The Chepangic languages, Chepang and Bhujel, are Sino-Tibetan languages of uncertain affiliation spoken in Nepal. They are often classified as part of the Mahakiranti or Magaric families (van Driem 2001).
Until recently,[when?] the Chepang people were hunter-gatherers.
Classification
[edit | edit source]Schorer (2016:293)[1] classifies Chepangic as part of his newly proposed Greater Magaric group.
