ABSTRACT

Dolakh% New%r is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the village of Dolakh%, approximately 145 kilometres to the east of Kathmandu, Nepal.1 The language has been referred to as Dolakh%li, Dolakh% (New%r), and Dolakh%e. The latter form contains the genitive morpheme =e, thus means ‘of Dolakh%’, and is the form used by the speakers to refer to themselves and their language. I will use the terms Dolakh%e and Dolakh% New%r interchangeably.
