Primer in Mother Tongue

[B. K. Rana]

A team of 7 Chepang  youths has been able to develop a primer on their mother tongue - Chepang Language.  Chepangs are one of the indigenous group of peoples in  Nepal.

There is a newsitem on it in Kantipur, Nepal's largest daily in vernacular. Hopefully 'The Kathmandu Post ' -  the paper's sister publication will carry the news in its forthcoming issue.

For  more on it, please visit www.kantipuronline.com Feb 7, 2004.

Thanks,

Rana
