Magar Kaike is a Sino-Tibetan language of Nepal.
Ethnologue classifies it as a West Bodish language.
Kaike is spoken in Shahartara, Tupatara, Tarakot, and Belawa villages of Sahartara VDC, Dolpa District, Karnali Province, Nepal (Ethnologue).
It is also in contact with Tichurong, a divergent Tibetic lect spoken near the Kaike-speaking areas.
[3] Zemp (2023) discusses the heavy influence of Tichurong on Kaike, but notes that Kaike has a Tamangic base.
