Abstract

This paper presents the grammatical category of mood in Tinkar lo, a lesser known West Himalayish Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the last village Tinkar of the Byans valley of Province no.7, Sudurpashchim Pradesh in Nepal. Tinkar lo is an SOV language and the verb stems are inflected for tense, aspect, mood and agreement. Both mood and modality manifest in Tinkar lo but this paper presents only the types of mood attested in the language. The findings discussed in this paper pertain to the analysis in my Ph.D. research. Keywords : mood, Tinkar lo, West Himalayish, lesser known
