Nyenkha is an East Bodish language spoken by about 10,000 people in the eastern, northern, and western areas of the Black
Mountains. Speakers live primarily between the Tang Chuu to the east and Mangde Chhu to the west, from the town of Trongsa
in Trongsa District; along Black River passes in the Trongsa District villages of Taktse and Usar; to in Ridha and Tashiding
villages, and Phobji, Dangchu, and Sephu Gewogs and surrounding villages in southeast Wangdue Phodrang District. Nyenkha is
related to the East Bodish Bumthangkha and Kurtöpkha, with 75–77% and 69% lexical similarity, respectively, however they are
not mutually intelligible. Dialects within Nyenkha show variation in tone and vocabulary. Dialects are generally named for
their villages, such that names for the overall language are largely confined to academia. |
