ABSTRACT

Tshangla is a Tibeto-Burman language of the Bodic subgroup, close to but just outside of the inner nucleus of so-called Tibetan ‘dialects’. While Tshangla has been referred to as Monpa, it is distinct from both Northern Monpa spoken in Tawang of Arunachal Pradesh, and Cuona (nTsho-sna) Monpa of Tibet.
