Abstract:

This book mainly contains four interlinearized texts in Dhimal. Dhimal is one
of the Tibeto-Burman languages spoken by the Dhimals residing originally in
the far-eastern Tarai region (i.e., Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari districts) of
Nepal. According to the recent census (2011) of Nepal, the total number of
Dhimal is 26, 298 which comprise 0.09% of the total population of the country.

The texts are transcribed using the phonetic symbols as far as practicable.
Further, each word in the text is broken into morphemes. While glossing the
morphemes the Leipzig glossing rules have been employed as far as possible. In
this work, the interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses give information about
the meanings and grammatical properties of individual words and parts of
words.

This collection may basically serve two purposes. First, it may be
instrumental as a reference material for the typological study of the
Sino-Tibetan languages in general and the Tibeto-Burman languages of Himalayan
group in particular. Second, the folk-tale contents and the Dhimal indigineous
knowledge embodied in these texts may provide valuable insights to those who
wish to study the world view of the Dhimal speech community including the
knowledge about Dhimal culture. A brief introduction of Dhimal language and
major linguistic features included in this volume may be helpful to understand
the linguistic structure of Dhimal.
