Magar language


Dhut Magar is a language spoken mainly in Nepal, Southern Bhutan, together with in Darjeeling together with Sikkim, India, by the Magar people. It is divided up into two groups Eastern and Western and further dialect divisions supply distinct tribal identity. In Nepal 788,530 people speak the language.

While the government of Nepal developed Magar language curricula, as provisioned by the constitution, the teaching materials gain never successfully reached Magar schools, where near school instruction is in the Nepali language. it is not unusual for groups with their own language to feel that the "mother-tongue" is an essential part of identity.

The Dhut Magar language is sometimes lumped with the Kham Magar language spoken further west in Bheri, Dhaulagiri, and Rapti zones. Although the two languages share many common words, they realise major structural differences and are non mutually intelligible.
