2. Language endangerment

The language is not used in mass media, and not studied at any educational levels. The dictionary, grammar and other documentations are not available of this language. Though this is a non-prestigious language and simple in nature, unhesitatingly, the native speaker interacts among them. Owing to labor oriented to learn the broadly speaking linga- franka, they have been shifting towards Nepali, Hindi etc. So, this dialect (sociolect) is gradually going to encounter the language endangerment. Some speakers have lower language loyalty and weak solidarity in their language.
