Tandrange (Nepali:तान्द्राङे[tandraŋe]) is aSino-Tibetan language spoken in a few ethnicGurung villages ofLamjung District,Nepal.[1] Tandrange is spoken in the villages ofTāndrāṅ (तान्द्राङ), Pokharī Thok (पोखरी थोक), and Jītā (जीता). It belongs to theGreater Magaric branch of theSino-Tibetan language family.
According to Schorer (2016), the Tandrange language is closely related to the recently extinctDura language, which was also spoken in Lamjung District. However, Tandrange speakers adamantly consider themselves as not related to the stigmatizedDura people.[1]
