Abstract:

This trilingual dictionary is based primarily on the author’s years of
fieldwork together with numerous discussions and the writer's intuition. It
consists of more than five thousand native Dumi words collected from native
speakers of the Makpa area. Dumi [dus] is an endangered Kirati language of the
Rai group spoken in northern Khotang district in eastern Nepal. It belongs to
the east Himalayish sub-branch of the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan
language family. The population of ethnic Dumi in Nepal according to the 2011
Census is 7,638. Linguistically, Dumi is closely related to other two Kirati
languages: Koyee [kkt] and Khaling [klr].

The information which we have chosen to include in the dictionary and its
organization are as a result of the experience in writing a grammar of Dumi
(Rai, 2017). The user of this dictionary is referred to that work (A Grammar
of Dumi: A functional-Typological approach), which should be used in
conjunction with the present dictionary in order to gain the best
understanding of Dumi. Since grammar and dictionary provide the entire view of
the language, this dictionary attempts to provide a brief description of the
Dumi language and its native speakers.
