Kaike language
Magar Kaike is a Sino-Tibetan language of Nepal. Ethnologue classifies it as a West Bodish language.
Kaike is spoken in Shahartara, Tupatara, Tarakot, and Belawa villages of Sahartara VDC, Dolpa District, Karnali Pradesh, Nepal.
Honda notes that Kaike shares many words with Tamangic, but is not part of Tamangic proper. It is also in contact with Tichyurong Tibetan, a divergent Tibetic lect spoken near the Kaike-speaking areas.Lexicon
