  abstract   = {Rokdung is the language of a small clan subdivision of the Rai community, mostly living in the village of Rolep, East Sikkim district, Sikkim, India. This previously undocumented language is classified in the Kiranti sub-branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family. The language has no more than 20 speakers and is critically endangered; current speakers only have partial fluency and low lexical recall. There is no previous scholarly work available, nor is it recognized by the Indian or Sikkim governments, or other formal bodies. We provide a brief description of the linguistic milieu, vitality, and current research on the language.},
