Note.— In Kunawar there are three principal dialects. 1st. The Milchanang or ordinary dia- 

 lect, which prevails chiefly in Lower Kundwar, and on the left bank of the Sutlej in Upper Kuna- 

 war. 2nd. The Tibberkad, whicli is applied chiefly to that of Sungnam and the adjacent villages, 

 Taling and Rushklang, but which includes, 1st, the dialect of Kanam of Labrang and Pilo, lower 

 down on the same stream, and of Sliasso in the Sungnam valley ; 2nd, the dialect of Lippa of Asrang 

 above, and of Janghi and Akpa below Lippa ; the 8rd dialect is that of the Chumars or Kohlis, a 

 separate race. 



In this Table S. signifies Sungnam, K. Kanam, and L. Lippa. 



The (j is always hard, and ch is always sounded as in choose, or as tch in thatch.
