Kaike language

Magar Kaike is a Sino-Tibetan language of Nepal. Ethnologue classifies it as a West Bodish language.

Kaike is a nepali magar language spoken in Shahartara, Samteling, Tupatara, Tarakot, Namdel and Belawa villages of kaike Rural Municipality, Dolpa District, Karnali Province, Nepal (Ethnologue).

Honda (2008) notes that Kaike shares many words with Tamangic, but is not part of Tamangic proper. It is also in contact with Tichurong, a divergent Tibetic lect spoken near the Kaike-speaking areas. Zemp (2023) discusses the heavy influence of Tichurong on Kaike, but notes that Kaike has a Tamangic base.

Honda (2008) lists the following Kaike words.
