Note on Transcription and Pronunciation

I used both Nepali and the local dialect of Tamang in my research. I am relatively adept in both but have studied Nepali for many more years. Nepali was my medium for learning Tamang, and I often asked for explanations in Nepali when I did not fully understand what had been said in Tamang. Many Tamang are bilingual, and I moved in and out of Tamang and Nepali while conversing. Tamang ritual orations and certain songs also employ an archaic form ofT amang, which most villagers, including ritual specialists, cannot translate completely word for word; they almost always know, though, the general sense and implications of their words. Nepali words, written in devaniigar"i script, are transcribed here for the most part according to Turner's Comparative and Etymological Dictionary of the Nepali Language ([1931] 1965). I have made several exceptions to Turner's system to facilitate reading for nonspecialists. Turner's "c," "ch," "n," and "s" are rendered, respectively, as "ch," "chh," "ng," and "sh." The names of well-known ethnic and caste groups of Nepal and other well-known Nepali terms appear as they are commonly written without diacritical marks. Tamang is an unwritten Tibeto-Burman language and has several significant tones. It varies from village to village and there is no standard. When I first began to live in T amdungsa, I developed a roughand-ready system for transcribing the local dialect into Devanagari. Thus, I have transcribed Tamang words, with a few exceptions, as I have transcribed Nepali words. What sounds approximately like "shy" to English speakers is rendered by Tamang in Devanagari as "sy." I have opted here to write "shy" for the Devanagari "sy" as in "shyingo." The Tamang phonemes "ts," "tsh," and "ds" are not recognized in
