Please note the following fact:

• Dhimals and Thamis are Kirat Nation who do not speak any Kirati language.
• Tibeto-Burman is no longer a widely-accepted scientific classification. Sino-Tibetan or Trans-Himalayan should be used instead.
• The substrata in Tharu and Danuwar has not been deeply studied and it's not clear whether it's Trans-Himalayan or something else. --146.96.147.126 (talk) 01:03, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-02-18T01:03:00.000Z","author":"146.96.147.126","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T01:03:00.000Z-Discussion","replies":[]}}-->

Hello, I took this from the Sino-Tibetan languages page:

"Several low-level groupings are well established, but the higher-level structure of the family remains unclear. Although the family is often presented as divided into Sinitic and Tibeto-Burman branches, a common origin of the non-Sinitic languages has never been demonstrated, and is rejected by an increasing number of researchers. A minority of researchers call the whole family "Tibeto-Burman", and the name "Trans-Himalayan" has also been proposed."

As for Newars, this template discusses ethnicity not language and thus should not be there.

• That's exactly the reason why ambiguous term Tibeto-Burman shouldn't be used here.
• The Upper list is an ethno-linguistic list. Ethnicities are classified by language family. If Newars must be grouped with Tharus, I would remove all classifiers such as "Indo-Aryan", "Tibeto-Burman" and put all ethnicities in one list. --146.96.147.126 (talk) 01:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-02-18T01:13:00.000Z","author":"146.96.147.126","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T01:13:00.000Z-137.147.16.237-2016-02-18T01:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-120.144.130.238-2016-02-18T01:26:00.000Z-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T01:13:00.000Z"]}}-->

This category is distinct as those people have non-Indo-Aryan origin. They are yet to be researched, and their linguistic substratum, which point to their origins, is not well-studied.

Well, I think since Danuwar is already listed in the other basis section under geography and since there is no dedicated page to them I think the section that says "Indo-Aryan-Tibeto-Burman"should be removed, what do you think?

My idea is that for each of the classification, the classification should be complete. For example, it's a bad style and unfair to put some people in the classification by caste and other people in the classification by geographic. If an ethnic can be removed by such reason, all Sino-Tibetan (TH) can be removed under janajati and all Aryans can be removed under those castes. --146.96.147.126 (talk) 01:47, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-02-18T01:47:00.000Z","author":"146.96.147.126","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T01:47:00.000Z-Discussion","replies":["c-120.144.130.238-2016-02-18T01:50:00.000Z-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T01:47:00.000Z"]}}-->

Yeah ok, but I think we should still keep the current design of the Nepali ethnic group template, just divided into language families instead. What do you think?

I agree. The bottom part of this template can be split into a separate templates. However, there is some problem you must consider: although Khas is an ethological concept, it has also become a pejorative among some Indians and consequently some Nepali do not want to be called that. Instead, those Nepalis use their caste as their ethnic group although caste are not ethnic groups. Here comes the problem, Eastern Pahari editors may list those caste into this template in the future. If the caste part if removed, they may put those caste directly into the Indo-Aryan section, which will bring big problem as certain Sino-Tibetan-speaking peoples, such as the Newars, share the same caste.

• So I don't suggest you to removed them now. As mentioned, Nepalese society is subject to intense change in the future decades. Don't do something too bold, and see how the native do it. --146.96.147.126 (talk) 02:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-02-18T02:08:00.000Z","author":"146.96.147.126","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T02:08:00.000Z-Discussion","replies":["c-120.144.130.238-2016-02-18T02:25:00.000Z-146.96.147.126-2016-02-18T02:08:00.000Z"]}}-->

Oh okay @146.96.147.126:, yeah I have noticed that as well, it almost seems like these castes are ethnic groups. Yes I understand it will make it seem like that certain caste only speaks Indo-Aryan languages when in fact some of them speak Sino-Tibetan languages because it's only a caste made up of different ethnicities who speak different languages. Yes I think the bottom should be removed, however I think the template as of right now is good. It was good working with you on this template, the bottom can be fixed later on I guess.

• I didn't notice the change of that template. Maybe the Vietnamese one is a good example but please don't do that to Nepal because Nepalese ethnics are far from well-classified.

Yeah it is good and no I won't do that, I think the current design is good for Nepal, I just think it should be divided along the lines of language family similar to the Vietnam template.

Please seek a good term for "Hill people".

@Nepalichoro255: made a very effective classification on caste which is temporarily undid by me. Below is his list:

• Khas - Chhetri
• Khas - Bahun
• Khas - Damai/Dholi
• Khas - Thakuri
• Khas - Sarki
• Khas - Kami etc.

• Newar - Chathariya (Kshatriya) Srēstha
• Newar - Panchthariya Srēstha
• Newar - Rajopadhyaya Brahmin
• Newar - Jyapu
• Newar - Chitrakar
• Newar - Vajracharya etc.

• Madhesi - Yadav
• Madhesi - Kayastha
• Madhesi - Chamar
• Madhesi - Kushwaha
• Madhesi - Kalwar
• Madhesi - Dhobi
• Madhesi - Mali etc.

FYI, I have a supplement:

• Magar - Thapa?
• Magar - Pulami etc.
• Newar Buddhist - Vajracharya Bare (I suggest to list Newar Buddhist castes separately)
• Newar Buddhist - Shakya Bare
• Newar Buddhist - Upasaka
  • Uray

Frankly this is a very good job but I have the following concern about this:

1. Should such a detailed classification be included in a separate group called {{Ethno-caste groups in Nepal}}? The current template is already large enough and I am having a headache on how to simplify it. My idea is simply list major caste groups by population, and it's just designed for those who do not want to be listed under their ethnic group (mainly Khas people, plus some Madhesi). --146.96.147.126 (talk) 01:03, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-02-27T01:03:00.000Z","author":"146.96.147.126","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-146.96.147.126-2016-02-27T01:03:00.000Z-How_to_arrange_the_caste_section","replies":["c-146.96.147.126-2016-02-27T01:01:00.000Z-146.96.147.126-2016-02-27T01:03:00.000Z"]}}-->
2.

I think Tibetic will be a more appropriate name for the group as it is already a well established fact that those people speak Tibetic language. Please advice.
