Tshangla is a Trans-Himalayan language spoken mainly in eastern Bhutan, but also in Arunachal Pradesh. It is also known as Sharchok, Sharchokpa, Sharchop, or Sharchopkha, and in a few sources as Central Monpa and Motuo or Canglou Monpa. The Glottocode for Tshangla language is tsha1247.

About the Collection

This collection includes Tshangla audio-video documentation and text annotations, and a number of photographs taken by the collector Tashi Tshewang which document both the documentation process and of associated places, people and artifacts. This project was funded by a FLICR Fellowship from the Centre for Cultural-Linguistic Diversity (Eastern Himalaya), with support from the Firebird Foundation for Anthropological Research.
