| Descripcion | The Lepcha language is spoken in Sikkim and Darjeeling district in West Bengal of India, in the Ilam disctrict of Nepal and in a small enclave in south-western Bhutan, altogether probably by upwards of 50,000 people. Lepcha is unmistakably a member of the Tibeto-Burman language group. The Lepcha are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Kingdom of Sikkim, which was annexed by India in 1975. Sikkim is now a part of India wedged between the kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan, and the Lepcha have become a minority in their own tribal homelands. |
