description For the language researcher, investigation and research in Himalayan areas is arduous but attractive. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1956, there has been a series of linguistic surveys organized by the government. The most commonly spoken languages in China, including those of the Himalayan region, have basically been identified. At present, the main task facing linguists is to fill in the details of the local patois and dialects in the Himalayan area that belong to the Tibeto-Himalayan family.
