Yakkha
Yakkha (Nepali याक्खा, Yākkhā) is an indigenous ethnic group of Nepal (identical with its Kirat family consisting of Sunuwar, Rai and Limbu of Mongoloid physiognomy). It is one of the progenies of Nepal's prehistoric Kirat dynasty of around 100 BC. The Yakkha people are subsistence farmers who inhabit the lower Arun valley in eastern Nepal. They number only a few thousand and their language is nearly extinct.〔K. David Harrison ''When Languages Die:The Extinction of the World's Languages and the ...

==Etymology==
Scholars have different opinions regarding the origin of the word ''Yakkha''. One school of thought claims that the ethnonym ''Yakkha'' as per the Aryan Sanskrit Grammar had been spelled in the Aryan-Hindu Mythologies as ''Yaksa-sh'' (like Bhisu-shu for an ascetic ''Bhikchu'' of the Buddhist holy scripts). Although the legendary Yaksa-sh, by the corrupt name of Yakkha, is being hailed in the Hindu holy scripts, Vedas and the ancient Sanskrit Literature, Yakkha has historically been consistent in the use of its own endonyms. ''Yakkhawa'' or ''Yakkhaba'' is used to denote the male person and ''Yakkhama'' to denote the female person.〔http://www.kiratyakkhachhumma.co.uk/about/index.php〕
