The East Bodish languages are a small group of non-Tibetic Bodish languages spoken in eastern Bhutan and adjacent areas of Tibet and India. They include: * Dakpa and Tawang * Dzala * Nyen, including Mangde and Phobjib * Chali * Bumthang * Kheng * Kurtöp George van Driem initially proposed that 'Ole belonged to the group, but later decided that it belonged to a group of its own. Although the East Bodish languages are closely related, Tshangla and related languages of eastern Bhutan, also called "Monpa" and predating Dzongkha, form a sister branch not to the East Bodish group, but to its parent Bodish branch. Thus the ambiguous term "Monpa" risks separating languages that should be grouped together, whereas grouping languages together that are quite distinct. Zakhring is apparently also related, though strongly influenced by Miju or a similar language. ==Internal classification== Hyslop (2010) classifies the East Bodish languages as follows. ;East Bodish *Dakpa–Dzala * *Dakpa * *Dzala *(unnamed branch) * *Phobjip * *Chali–Bumthang * * *Chali * * *Bumthangic * * * *Bumthang * * * *Kheng * * * *Kurtöp She regards the Dakpa–Dzala and Bumthangic subgroups as secure, and the placement of Phobjip and Chali as more tentative. Lu (2002) divides the "Menba language" (门巴语) into the following subdivisions. The southern dialect is most likely Tawang Monpa. *Southern 南部方言: 30,000 speakers * *''Mama dialect'' 麻玛土语: Mama Township 麻玛乡 (or 麻麻乡), Lebu District 勒布区, Cona County, Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture, Tibet * *''Dawang dialect'' 达旺土语: Dawang Township 达旺镇, Mendawang District 门达旺地区, Cona County, Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture, Tibet *Northern 北部方言: 5,000 speakers * *''Wenlang dialect'' 文浪土语: Wenlang Township 文浪乡, Dexing District 德兴区, Mêdog County, Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet * *''Banjin dialect'' 邦金土语: Bangjin District 邦金地区, Mêdog County, Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Bodish languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
