"Thangmi men and women over the age of fifty are often monolingual Thangmi speakers, while Thangmi youths under twenty years of age usually have lisle more than a passive understanding of their own tongue. The middle generation, between the ages of twenty and fifty are most likely to be bilingual, using Thangmi for most intra-ethnic linguistic exchanges and Nepali in conversations with members of other ethnic groups and castes." (p. 101)
