Tamangic languages

The Tamangic languages, TGTM languages, or West Bodish languages or Kaike-Ghale-Tamangic languages (Glottolog), are a family of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in the Himalayas of Nepal. They are called "West Bodish" by Bradley (1997), from Bod, the native term for Tibet. TGTM stands for Tamang-Gurung-Thakali-Manang.

Languages
The Tamangic languages are: • Tamang (several divergent varieties, with a million speakers) • Gurung (two varieties with low mutual intelligibility) • Thakali (including the Seke dialect; ethnically Tamang) • Manang language cluster: the closely related Manang, Gyasumdo, Nar Phu, and Nyeshangte languages. • Chantyal • Ghale languages (Ghale and Kutang): spoken by ethnic Tamang, perhaps related to Tamangic. • Kaike (moribund): may be the most divergent. ==Footnotes==
