Comments on speakers
"Chaudangs learn Kumauni and Nepali, as they are in close contact with speakers of these languages. Hindi is learnt through education and other formal occasions in offices and in written communication. The people in this area had barter trade relations with Tibet which were disrupted by the Indo-Chinese conflict in 1962. Because of this, some older people have a working knowledge of Tibetan as well."
