Belhare is a Kiranti language spoken by some 2,000 people living on the Belhara hill, at the southern foothills of the Himalayas
situated in the Dhankuta district in Eastern Nepal. All speakers of Belhare are bilingual in Nepali, this results in frequent
code mixing and a large amount of Nepali loan-words. Nevertheless, the grammar of Belhare has maintained its distinct Kiranti
characteristics. Like other Kiranti languages, Belhare is characterized by an elaborate morphology in both the nominal and
verbal domain. Syntactically, Belhare has partly an accusative, partly an ergative pivot, but accusative syntax is more prominent
in terms of frequency. |
