"There were 3658 ethnic Athpare in the Dhankuta district in 1974 (Dahal 1985:18). The number may have increased since, but 'mixed' marriages probably also have, which usually leads parents to switch to Nepali as a family language." (p. 11)
"Many parents though, especially in Dhankuta and the immediate neighborhood, use Nepali with their children." (p.11)
"The Apthpare live in a few villages around the market place Dhankuta in Eastern Nepal." (p.11)
