Abstract:

A Grammar of Dangaura Tharu is a descriptive presentation of Dangaura Tharu
spoken primarily in Dang, Banke, Bardiya, Surkhet, Kailali, and Kanchanpur
districts of Nepal. Organized in eleven chapters, it has analysed the
sociolinguistic situation, and the phonological, morphological, syntactic and
semantic structures of the language.

Dangaura Tharu exhibits six basic vowel and 34 consonant sounds. It is a
nominative-accusative language where the argument in S/A slot is always
unmarked and the one in O slot is always marked. It has two number system-
singular and plural- and the plural markers are -ʌn and hũkrʌ. It follows the
dative subject construction for experiencer subjects. Dangaura Tharu is unique
in its personal pronouns- ṭʌĩ, ṭũ, ʌpnʌ- especially in the second person,
with three levels of honorificity. It exhibits three tense system with
distinct tense markers -ṭ and -ṭʰ in the present, -n and -l in the past and
-m, -h, and -b in the future. It is a verb final language attesting SOV
constituent order, though sentence modification and displacement are possible
for contrastive focus. As proposed here, Dangaura Tharu genetically belongs to
the Bihari group within the Eastern group of languages that falls under the
outer sub-branch of Indo-Aryan language family.
