This is an important article, however it needs major surgery. Ceti 16:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map improvement
Why not use green to represent Kham and Magar as well as Gurung, since these three "janjati" groups are similar in their relationship to Pahari peoples and languages?
In the Terai, perhaps show Tharu (and other terai janjatis) and Mahdeshi languages (Hindi, Urdu, Mathili, Bengali, etc.) in a different color, with overlap shown as in the Kathmandu area. 76.80.26.121 16:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Text Improvement
parts of this page are redundant, and the copy towards the end of the entry needs major cleanup. Ceti 22:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with Pahari languages
Text in this article should be merged with Pahari languages because it doesn't get into uses of the word beyond languages.
However Pahari can also refer to people of Khas (indo-european) provenance who are Hindus and not belonging to any local tribes (Magar, Gurung, Tamang, Limbu, etc. etc.). It can also be used as an adjective referring to almost anything that is indigenous to the 'hills' northward from the top of the Mahabharat Range and south of the main Himalayan range, as distinct from the Terai (region south of the Mahabharats) or the higher, more northerly region occupied by 'hill tribes' who may not be completely Hinduized or by culturally Tibetan peoples.
