Limbu : ウィキペディア英語版
Limbu people

The Limbu (exonym) or Yakthung (endonym) () tribes and clans are a Kirati people of Tibetan origin indigenous to the hill and mountainous regions of East Nepal between the Arun and Mechi rivers to as far as South Tibet, Bhutan, Darjeeling, Sikkim, Assam, Nagaland, and Burma.
The name Limbu is an exonym of an uncertain origin. They call themselves Yakthumba (. In Standard Tibetan, they are referred to as "Sikkimese people" () and in Sikkimese as ''Shong'' or ''Tsong'' "Tsang people". Their estimated population of 700,000 is centered in the districts of Sankhuwasabha, Tehrathum, Dhankuta, Taplejung, Morang, Sunsari, Jhapa, Panchthar, Ilam District, Kathmandu District, Lalitpur District, Bhaktapur District' in Nepal, These are all within the Mechi and Kosi Zones or "Limbuwan".
Portions of the Limbu population are also located in the east and west districts of Sikkim. A smaller number are scattered throughout the cities of Darjeeling and Kalimpong in West Bengal, Assam, Nagaland and in north and south Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma and recently migrated to the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the United States and many other countries.
Limbu clans and tribes are divided into two gotras indicating their origin: Lhasa and Yunnan. The Limbu are known as Yakthung Thibong () or "Ten Limbu", from which thirteen Limbu subgroups have emerged. According to legend, five of the groups came from Yunnan and the other eight from Lhasa.
The Chinese text ''Po-ou-Yeo-Jing'' translated in 308 AD refers to the Yi-ti-Sai (barbarians bordering on the north), a name which is an exact equivalent of Kiratas.〔Saklani, Dinesh Prasad ''Ancient communities of the Himalaya'' Indus Publishing Company,India (1 Mar 2002) ISBN 978-81-7387-090-3 p. 36〕〔Levi, Sylvain ''Le Nepal'' Asian Educational Services,India; Facsimile edition (20 Dec 2007)ISBN 978-81-206-0580-0 p. 78〕
