Drenjongke [NEW]

Samar Sinha, Coordinator of the Endangered Languages Programme of Sikkim University, writes:

Drenjongkhe (and its several alternate spellings) is a community in Sikkim too. Historically a migrant community from Tibet, settled in Sikkim. Hence, this migrant came to be known as Drejongkhe/Sikkimese Bhutia to distinguish from the Tibetans (refugees after the Chinese occupation). Their language and script, hence, known by the same name.

Kindly give my reference, he will help. The knows how to read and write the script.
